"Controversial Flag at Justice Alito's Home Sparks Political Outcry"

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flew an "Appeal to Heaven" flag, associated with far-right Christian nationalists, at his New Jersey beach house, raising concerns about his impartiality. The flag, co-opted by Christian nationalists and seen during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, was also flown by conservative influencer Leonard Leo. Leo, who has significant influence over the Supreme Court's conservative justices, claims the flag symbolizes civic duty and philanthropy. The incident adds to ongoing ethical concerns surrounding the Supreme Court and its justices' relationships with conservative megadonors.
