In a rare move, the Washington Post has debunked the New York Times over its story regarding the upside-down U.S. flag being flown over Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s home in 2021. A Post reporter had visited the Alito’s at the time of the incident, enquiring about the flag, but finding nothing more than a neighborhood dispute. The Post explained Saturday:
The Post decided not to report on the episode at the time because the flag-raising appeared to be the work of Martha-Ann Alito, rather than the justice, and connected to a dispute with her neighbors, a Post spokeswoman said. It was not clear then that the argument was rooted in politics, the spokeswoman said.
The Post even takes a dig at left-wing Democrats who have been attempting to use the issue to force Justice Alito off cases as a result:
Since the Times article, dozens of Democratic lawmakers and some legal experts have called for the justice to recuse himself from the 2020 election-related cases, saying the upside-down flag outside his home raises questions about his impartiality or creates the appearance of bias. He has drawn rebukes from some Republicans as well. For now, the neighborhood remains quiet, and no other disturbances have been reported.

Thank you - your VPN info is very helpful.
Even if it was politics, I don’t care. The democrats are freely displaying communist and Hamas palestinian crap everywhere.
Eff em... they cannot force him to recuse. All they can do is whine.
Democratic lawmakers are as useful as using gasoline to put a fire out.
I don’t give a rats azz if he himself hoisted it, and stood back to salute before his morning Folgers and then played 30 minutes of Souza marches.
Yeah, and my calling my neighbor a "dirty Jew" was likewise over a neighborhood dispute. Had nothing to do with politics.
Really!

You can bet that those democrat lawmakers were involved with the story being written by the times to begin with. It is a normal game plan for the democrats. Get the media to write a specific story and capitalize on the story to push the democrat agenda. In this case the agenda is to remove Alito from cases.
Of course only conservative justices should recuse themselves. :-)
Me too!!!!
“Jodi Kantor” - Yikes! That is one ugly dude.
Doesn’t matter. As we have learned in NY, no judge has to recuse himself for any reason. Period

very tempting to send her a tip about where she can go.
very interesting graph. Especially the negative slopes on all but a handful of justices, indicating they became more liberal with time
