Senators Seek Meeting Over Distress Flags at Justice Alito's Homes
TL;DR Summary
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's wife, Martha-Ann Alito, explained that the inverted American flag flown at their home in January 2021 was an "international signal of distress" due to a neighborhood dispute, not a political protest. The incident, which involved a conflict with a neighbor over anti-Trump signs, has resurfaced amid controversy over Alito's displays of flags associated with Trump supporters. This has led to criticism from both Democrats and some Republicans, and renewed calls for Supreme Court ethics rules.
