Senate Democrats Demand Ethics Meeting with Chief Justice Over Alito's Flag Controversy

Federal Judge Michael Ponsor criticized Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for eroding public trust by displaying an upside-down American flag, a symbol associated with Trump supporters, at his home following the Jan. 6 riot. Ponsor argued that such actions, even if legal, are unethical and damage the court's integrity. Alito claimed his wife hung the flag in response to a neighbor's insults. The controversy has led to calls for Alito to recuse himself from Trump-related cases and for the Senate to investigate.
