Controversies Surrounding Justice Alito: Flags, Ethics, and Recusal Demands

TL;DR Summary
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has provided conflicting accounts regarding politically charged flags flown outside his homes, which has led to criticism and calls for his recusal from certain cases. Alito claims his wife was responsible for the flags, citing a neighborhood dispute as the reason, but police records and neighbor testimonies contradict his explanations. The motivations behind the flags, particularly an upside-down American flag and an "Appeal to Heaven" flag, remain unclear, raising questions about potential political bias.
