A "Stop the Steal" flag reportedly flew at the home of Justice Samuel Alito, just days after Jan 6.

Alito not being forced to recuse from Trump's immunity case and upcoming Jan 6 cases tells you everything you need to know about the new SCOTUS code of "ethics."

It's a sham.

I kind of object to the upside down US flag being oopted by MAGA. When it was shown widely by the left after Trump was elected the MAGA contingent lost their shit about it. Now they get to use it with impunity?

The reality is only one party is trying to destroy America. The US in distress is their doing and they cannot fly the flag that way without projecting their true intent to do so.

@rbreich you're an intelligent man that should be reporting better than this. It's not a "stop the steal" flag. It's an American flag being flown in the distress signal position. You should know this and report it as such - THEN comment on it's use. Stop feeding the clickbait.

@rbreich The SC is a good idea in theory, it has never been great in practice. McConnell changed the game though. What he did to get a conservative court has never been done before.

@rbreich SCROTUS has been illegitimate since they ruled over the Bush v Gore presidential election in 2000. It's been a farce all the way till now down ever since. My generation is going to be fucked for decades.

@rbreich What good is all this shit being thrown at the obviously corrupt Supreme Court? Do you believe you can shame them to do the right thing? THEY HAVE ABSOLUTE POWER and cannot be legally held accountable. The only solution is to elect enough Democrats to boost the number on the court. That should be our only cause.

And Samuel Alito, being the man of honor that he is, blamed it on his wife and a neighbor's insulting yard sign

"I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,” Alito said in an emailed statement to the newspaper. “It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs."
