Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has recently declined an invitation to meet with Democratic senators to discuss the upside-down American flag that was displayed outside Justice Samuel Alito's Virginia home in 2021. This decision by Roberts follows Justice Alito's statement that he would not recuse himself from cases involving presidential immunity or those related to the events of January 6th.
It was noted that a similar 'Appeal to Heaven' flag was flown last summer outside Alito's vacation home in New Jersey. Alito has maintained that his wife was responsible for putting up the flag and stated, 'I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of that flag. I was not even aware of the upside-down flag until it was brought to my attention.'
