Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is facing renewed criticism following reports of a second controversial flag associated with the January 6th events being seen flying outside one of his homes. The flag in question is a 1775 pine tree design known as the Appeal to Heaven flag, historically linked to George Washington's secretary and seen by many as a symbol of independence.
While the flag has been flown over state capitals and is the official maritime flag of Massachusetts, its presence during the January 6th events has sparked controversy. Senate Democrats have criticized Justice Alito for displaying the flag, with some questioning his impartiality and commitment to his role on the court.
