Democratic Rep. Cohen introduces censure resolution against Alito over flag controversy
Just The News ^ | 21 May 2024 | Nicholas Ballasy

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, introduced resolution to censure U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito after an upside-down flag was reportedly displayed on his home after the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

“Beyond poor judgment, Justice Alito’s misuse of the American flag is a knowing and shameless demonstration of his political bias. He literally flew a flag in front of his house showing the world he supported the January 6th insurrectionists. What’s more, he continues to participate in litigation directly related to the 2020 election and the Insurrection, in direct violation of the federal recusal statute and the Supreme Court’s own ethics rules,” Cohen said in a statement.

This guy is an idiot, it’s not misuse. Does he not know what an inside down flag means? Alito was right, we are in distress. He was not agreeing with what was happening regardless of what side he is on.

Chicken Man strikes again - this time trying to interfere with the Supreme Court. ANYONE can fly a flag upside down when it’s appropriate...in this case “Nation under distress”.

Would not surprise me to see just enough House GOP votes to pass this resolution.

The Democrats are now writing strongly- worded letters?

“...demonstration of his political bias...”

And of course, the three Rat Bolsheviks on the court NEVER demonstrate political bias.

The thing about Golden Calf worshipers is that they are ALWAYS on offense, ALWAYS attacking. Something that is going to be corrected on January 21, 2025.

Rotten SOB just trying to demonize Alito because of the upcoming SCOTUS ruling about Jan 6th.

Ugly democrat women have no problem wearing an upside down cross and don’t anyone say anything about it or else.

We should all fly our flags upside down on Memorial day in show of support.

Why don’t they definitively define what an insurrection is?

He’s doing what he should be doing...he’s doing what the chickensh!t GOP doesn’t do- whether is voting down the censure of omar or voting down the impeachment of mayorkas.

The rats play the political game like its a bloodsport while the GOP plays patty cakes.

That’s why people love DJT- he fights back.

There was no insurrection on Jan 6.

++++++++++

Oh, but there was. Ask the J6 folks doing time in DC gulags without a trial. The insurrection was on free peoples rights. From what I see, the gubermint was very successful in suppressing folks on the right from fear of the same destiny as the imprisoned J6 folks.

never forget the reason for the left’s treason... a peaceful protest of election irregularities.
