“This incident is yet another example of apparent ethical misconduct by a sitting justice, and it adds to the court’s ongoing ethical crisis. For the good of our country and the court, Justice Alito must recuse himself immediately from cases related to the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection. And the chief justice must see how this is damaging the court and immediately enact an enforceable code of conduct.” – Sen. Dick Durbin, reacting to the Christian nationalist flag seen at Alito’s vacation home. The flag was brandished by rioters during their violent assault on the US Capitol.
Flying this flag is a political statement that is a clear & compelling reason for Alito’s recusal. He cannot responsibly sit on Trump-related cases when he has already signaled his sympathy with January 6th rioters. He owes the American people an explanation. https://t.co/g8hSr7Sqww

Did another neighbor make Alito’s wife mad?
How many MAGA battle flags does Alito need to fly for the Court or the Judicial Conference to see there’s a problem?https://t.co/YTo3AUCFQ9
