An upside-down American flag — a symbol embraced by Donald Trump’s supporters who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen — flew at Justice Samuel Alito’s home while the Supreme Court was considering an election case in early 2021. nyti.ms/3QP6nGu
Not only is this disgusting bc of the meaning of it but it's also gross that anyone who is supposed to be upholding any part of our laws is willing to disgrace the flag like that.
I know when we were watching the riots and they replaced the flag w/ trump flag that's when my husband was disgusted.
Not that long ago, Repubs could be as scummy as they wanted, but elected Dems saying word one got slammed by the (now) Lamestream Media. But the rules are changing, mostly because the Repub ethics and behavioral full throttle race to the bottom means Dems permitted behavior low bar is following.
Must be tough to work at the NYT and do the journalist legwork to uncover that a SCOTUS justice is a fascist only for the editorial team to write a column the next day about how that’s actually ok
As a Supreme Court Justice, he of all people should know better. A US flag flown in this manner denotes an emergency in progress, extreme threat to life or property. It's a violation of US flag code, a sign of disrespect, and similar to kneeling during the National Anthem. How'd he feel about that?
Lol, imagine believing the Dems will ever effectively fight back against this.
At this point.
With the history we've had since the Tea Party.
Shit, since Reagan, even.
They'll roll over, and in 8 years half of what the GOP believes now will be Dem boilerplate to win elections.
Why 62? Is that "Filibuster-proof majority to expand the court, plus Manchin and Sinema?"
The only other thing I think you could mean is impeachment, and that's 67.
Biden only won 25 states last time, so you’d need every one of those to elect 2 democrats and 6 to 12 Trump states to elect Democratic Senators too. Kind of a tall order!
Imagine being so brain-melted that you're a sitting member of SCOTUS and you think there's a shadowy cabal of even more elite people pulling off a massive election fraud.
I care, but in the end this is meaningless. He's not going to recuse himself, he's not going to step down. He's going lie his way through it and no one can do anything because "the normz" or whatever such bullshit.
He's a disgrace.
Honestly, what can they do? Stamp their feet in protest? Threaten to expand the court when they know it's not going to happen?
If we don't have two branches of Governmen, we're fucked.
It's gonna be wild to see if this gets anywhere as much coverage in your paper as some young Republican nepo baby claiming to be scared to speak about phrenology in their college economics class because cEnSoRsHiP
