Justice Samuel Alito blames upside-down American flag on his wife and a flap with neighbors
Justice Samuel Alito sought to head off mounting criticism Friday over a report that an inverted American flag was flown at his house in January 2021, telling Fox News that his wife hoisted the symbol of discontent in response to profane signs in the neighborhood.

If you haven’t already, I recommend everyone listen to the audio of some Supreme Court arguments. Sure they’re usually dry and boring, but they’re also a great way to hear for yourself what an absolute dick this guy is. He regularly parrots Fox News talking points, treats his colleagues and the solicitors with utter contempt, and asks disingenuous and misdirecting questions to hide his true intent.
He’s also wildly inconsistent from case to case, making arguments that he himself had argued against in other cases. He’s not a real judge, in the definitional sense, because he doesn’t apply the law consistently or impartially.
He’s a venal, spiteful, misogynistic, vengeful piece of shit who doesn’t respect the people he has such inordinate power over. Very few public figures make me as viscerally angry as Alito does.
Edit: here's a link to all the audio
I used to think Thomas or o'kav the attempted rapist were the worst but no, its alito.
True that. It is genuinely horrifying that the attempted rapist is only the third worst man on the court.
Nah, I respected Thomas for never asking questions.
He was the only one of the nine justices, who for so long, didn't pretend that his mind wasn't already made up, or that there was an answer a lawyer could give that would change his predetermined ruling.
He knew what the assignment was, and fuck if he was going to waste any more time then necessary.
I never thought much about why Thomas didn’t ask any questions for all that time, but that makes so much sense! Damn. Also helps explain his ridiculous corruption. He was never going to change his mind, plus his job isn’t bound by any ethical standards, oh and his job is for life. So he might as well milk it for all its worth, I guess because his feeling were hurt after nearly coming close to losing his nomination for being a sexual harasser? So pathetic.
