Justice Sam Alito Busted For Flying Flag Upside Down In Solidarity With MAGA After Biden Win In 2020. Blames It On His Wife

[CrusaderFrank]

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was quick to blame his wife when it was discovered that a MAGA symbol was displayed in the justice's front yard as the high court was considering an election case, but that excuse doesn't hold water, according to a federal courts insider.

The New York Times reported on Thursday that an upside-down American flag was seen flying at Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's house after President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election, and a CNN panel on Friday bashed him for a total lack of professionalism.

In the wake of Biden's victory, many Trump supporters flew American flags upside down to signal distress in the United States, and panelist David Frum argued that having an upside down flag at the house of a Republican-appointed Supreme Court justice is "going to raise a lot of doubts about the legitimacy of the court," especially when it comes to the upcoming case on presidential immunity.

The most corrupt court in the nations history. There are no more legitimate arguments for not expanding the entire federal judiciary, and requiring term limits for judges. The toxic partisanship of conservatism, and their dark money billionaire supporters have destroyed all of the democratic principles created by the Founders.

What Progressives are “thinking”

Since when are people allowed to express opinions dissenting from the glorious 1,000 democrat Reich?

Can we outlaw guns so we can dealt with these traitors??

Is there ANYTHING democrats won't lie about?

They do tell the truth about make pretend

So Alito took at least one expensive fishing trip with two Republican donors, one of whom had business pending before the Supreme Court.

No surprise that the two Trumpers on the bench are also the most brazenly corrupt of any of the justices.

The upside-down flag was aloft on Jan. 17, 2021, the images showed. President Donald J. Trump’s supporters, including some brandishing the same symbol, had rioted at the Capitol a little over a week before. Mr. Biden’s inauguration was three days away. Alarmed neighbors snapped photographs, some of which were recently obtained by The New York Times. Word of the flag filtered back to the court, people who worked there said in interviews.

While the flag was up, the court was still contending with whether to hear a 2020 election case, with Justice Alito on the losing end of that decision. In coming weeks, the justices will rule on two climactic cases involving the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, including whether Mr. Trump has immunity for his actions. Their decisions will shape how accountable he can be held for trying to overturn the last presidential election and his chances for re-election in the upcoming one.

“I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,” Justice Alito said in an emailed statement to The Times. “It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.”

Judicial experts said in interviews that the flag was a clear violation of ethics rules, which seek to avoid even the appearance of bias, and could sow doubt about Justice Alito’s impartiality in cases related to the election and the Capitol riot.

The mere impression of political opinion can be a problem, the ethics experts said. “It might be his spouse or someone else living in his home, but he shouldn’t have it in his yard as his message to the world,” said Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia.

This is “the equivalent of putting a ‘Stop the Steal’ sign in your yard, which is a problem if you’re deciding election-related cases,” she said.

Interviews show that the justice’s wife, Martha-Ann Alito, had been in a dispute with another family on the block over an anti-Trump sign on their lawn, but given the timing and the starkness of the symbol, neighbors interpreted the inverted flag as a political statement by the couple

The longstanding ethics code for the lower courts, as well as the recent one adopted by the Supreme Court, stresses the need for judges to remain independent and avoid political statements or opinions on matters that could come before them.

“You always want to be proactive about the appearance of impartiality,” Jeremy Fogel, a former federal judge and the director of the Berkeley Judicial Institute, said in an interview. “The best practice would be to make sure that nothing like that is in front of your house.”

[drudge X]

So freedom of expression doesn't apply to SC justices?

Odummy, you lame-ass.

There is exactly Zero evidence of any corruption by any present Justice on the SCOTUS bench.

He can have his political opinion on it...

He just needs to recuse himself from any cases involving his personal opinion.

THAT is how it is suppose to work.....that is what recusal is for.....

No he doesn't.

He needs to recuse himself from something where there is a conflict of interest or a potential for an ethics violation.

This isn't it.

You guys need to get the sand out of your underwear and your heads out of your asses.

 

[HikerGuy83]

We are living through, perhaps the most corrupt, version of the SCOTUS.

They are highly partisan, highly radical, and highly activist.

And they DGAF about it.

The far rightwing organization The Heritage Foundation really got their money's worth.

They need to be brought to heel!

Actually we are living through one of the sadest examples of our failed education system.

You.

There would be no courts presided by judges if they could not rule on issues on which they held personal opinions. Certainly not the show trial in NY.

I used the wrong word....I should have said in replacement of personal opinion as contentious opinion on contentious public issues that will likely go before the court.... Upside down flag supports the Big Lie....stop the steal.

The Election being Stolen, and January 6th revolt, and who you support as president and who you don't.... Are EXTREMELY Contentious in today's world.

Yesteryear, simply supporting a Party, mattered not, but since Trump made that in to War Drums, and a War Cry, life has not been the same.

Are you actually telling me you think what she and he did, was okay, with him as a Supreme court justice? He has so little respect for his own position as a Neutral arbitrator/judge that he thought his wife's petty squabble against a neighbor was worth showing the world that she and he have no respect for the important position he holds?

Okee dokee...... Sad, sad indeed

LOL Trump isn't the one that started all the acrimony between the parties, that would be the unhinged democrats that attacked him from day one.

Given what we know now about Biden's presidency, wasnt it appropriate to fly the flag upside down?

Nope! Trump began it from the escalator ride and forward.

No! Not at the house of a Supreme court justice, or any house of a judge.

How can you not have enough common sense, to know that Godboy?

Biden wasn't president when they flew it, silly one!

Saddest.

He started it with the Obama birther BS.

And the lies and BS continued to pile up all the way to the criminal defendents chair hes sitting in right now.

Why not?
