Amid the roiling controversy over flags associated with right-wing MAGA violence that were flown outside Samuel Alito's homes, the conservative Supreme Court justice has insisted on staying where he is and refused to step aside from cases involving Donald Trump and the January 6 insurreciton. Despite Alito's excuse that it was his wife who is "fond of flying flags," one of his former law clerks says that his explanation doesn't pass muster.
That law clerk, Susan Sullivan, wrote in a piece for The Philadelphia Inquirer that "the flag flying upside down at his home in the past unequivocally telegraphs reasonable questions about his impartiality in cases involving Trump."
