Controversial Flag Displayed at Justice Alito's Beach House
TL;DR Summary
A second flag associated with the January 6 Capitol rioters was displayed outside Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's properties, prompting renewed calls for his recusal from Trump-related cases. The "Appeal to Heaven" flag was seen at his New Jersey beach home, while an inverted American flag was previously spotted at his Washington residence. Alito's impartiality is being questioned as he participates in cases related to the 2020 election and the Capitol attack. Public trust in the Supreme Court has recently declined, and the court adopted a code of ethics in November 2023, though it lacks enforcement mechanisms.
