First it was Mrs. Alito’s day-long flying of an upside-down American flag that Democrats said required Justice Samuel Alito to recuse from the pending Supreme Court cases involving Jan. 6 defendants and Trump’s appeal concerning presidential immunity. Less than a week later, Democrats pounced on the news that an Appeal to Heaven flag hung outside the Alitos’ beach house. Clearly, the conservative justice must now recuse in the high-profile cases, the corrupt media declared, parroting their Democrat pals.
On the contrary, there is no basis for Justice Alito to recuse. And the only thing clear is how insane the efforts to target the Supreme Court justice have become.
As I explained last week, based on my years researching the federal codes of conduct, Mrs. Alito’s flying of an upside-down American flag raised no ethical issues for Justice Alito. The Code of Conduct for Justices (as the codes of conduct that apply to federal judges and judicial employees), does not govern spouses, and a judge’s only obligation is to disassociate himself or herself from his or her partner’s political activities. Justice Alito did that when the story broke, making clear he had nothing to do with the flag.
Whether Justice or Mrs. Alito flew the Appeal to Heaven flag is currently unknown — but also completely irrelevant.
Notwithstanding the concerted effort by politicians and the press to portray the flag as a symbol of “Stop the Steal,” or Jan. 6, 2021, there was nothing inherently political about displaying the Appeal to Heaven flag. Rather, the only thing intrinsically conveyed by the display of the flag, also known as the Pine Tree Flag, is “a patriotic message of democratic resilience…” That flag dates to revolutionary times, with “[t]he first six schooners commissioned by the Continental...

Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson have all had massive demonstrations of their beliefs and some direct conflict of interest from cases they were involved in before rising to the court.
They never recuse. They cannot force Alito to recuse and they know it. And is the Democrat argument that Alito should control his wife? Jerk her leash, and investigate how she got out of the kitchen and who gave her those shoes?
Is that the Wise LatinX?
Once again, the Left is creating the narrative and rules of the debate, while the GOP stands around saying “don’t be silly!”
The fact is that even the Left is admitting that courts can be, have been corrupted to a partisan political tool. Now they want SCOTUS, because its not on their side.
The American Right need its own “court reform” narrative.
One big one should be - the elimination of the DC District Federal Court system. Congress created it, and Congress can eliminate it.
The DC Federal District courts have become the kangaroo court of the permanent Fed.gov bureaucracy and DHS, especially the DOJ/FBI who now have Stasi-like powers.
yeah, the beetus one.
We have Democrats like that his ugly dog Raskin complaining about a flag flying outside the home of a Supreme Court justice … just weeks after this same bunch of @ssholes was proudly waving Ukrainian flags on the floor of the House chamber. LOL.
Democrats can only have a Democrat Supreme Court. Anything less than that just won’t do.
Don't forget the money.
Yup...scorched earth is the official policy of Rat Party Headquarters...and it has been for some time.
