Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts rejected Democrats’ request on Thursday to have a meeting about flags raised at the properties of Justice Samuel Alito, pointing to “separation of powers concerns.”
Unable to expand the court with more liberal justices, Democrats have been casting doubt on Justice Alito’s ability to remain impartial after the New York Times published two stories showing an upside-down American flag and an Appeal to Heaven flag displayed in Alito’s front yard. The Times linked the flags to Trump supporters, “Stop the Steal,” and January 6 protesters who have more recently adopted those historic symbols.
Following the Times stories, Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) sent a letter to Chief Justice Roberts demanding Alito recuse himself from ongoing, high-stakes cases before the court related to former President Donald Trump and January 6. The Democrat senators claimed in their letter that the flags are evidence Alito “actively engaged in political activity, failed to avoid the appearance of impropriety, and failed to act in a manner that promotes public confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary,” and that he “created reasonable doubt about his impartiality and his ability to fairly discharge his duties in cases related to the 2020 presidential election and January 6th attack on the Capitol.”

What fools
It’s all about intimidation and marginalizing the Justices.
Is this the best and brightest that these three states can offer?
Come on repukes. The Wide Latina must recuse from any cases concerning immigration, Jackson from anything involving “a woman”, and Kagen from any gay case. Play the game by the rules laid in front of you.
EC
No. That's why they kicked them out of their states and sent them to D.C. Raised the average IQs of their home states doing so.
When I was young, it was the leftists who were flying the flag upside down...
Exactly! The left simply makes up crap and runs with it... and their minions believe it because they’re too ignorant to think for themselves.
and the RATS take another one in the.........HA ha!!!
The Army of Satan never rests.
Alternative, grant them a hearing before the full court on the record and see if they fall for it. Thw Justices can ask pretty rough questions when they get their backs up. It would be interesting to see these senators have to explain on the record what harm is caused by the wife of a justice flying a flag and how that compares to taking money from entiites seeking favors like congresscritters do every day. And when they wander off topic call them for not noticing that as a thing they wanted to talk about and keep them on topic.
First lady is of African descent so we don't fly the Stars and Bars.
Although I sing Dixie every now and then.
Oooh rah!

Liberals can stomp on, and burn the American flag with impunity, but a person who sits on the highest court can’t fly the American flag, or another flag whichever way they want.
