Can this "she cancelled the SOTU" stop before it firms up as a Fox and right wing talking point?
She did not; she can not. All she did was tell Moron: Not in my House until the federal gov't gets back to work.
The Constitution requires the president to inform "from time to time" congress about the state of the union and make any recommendation he believes necessary. There isn't a mumbling word in the owners manual how he does it or what day he does it or where he does it. All the theater is just tradition.
He can give a SOTU from the Oval Office tomorrow night or dispatch a carrier pigeon with note on its leg over to the Capital or use any form of communication he chooses. He does not have to run his mouth and lie like rug to a captive audience next Tuesday.
