What we the people NEED is the ability to Fire the tyrants that we Hire.
RULERS FOR LIFE ain't right.
That's the face of a sure enough toe sucker, and it's not his wife's toes 😮😮
Who is this we🤔
“…the ability…”
But we don’t.
2A is the only way to solve this.
@@Roger-fs5yo From across the sea the we is you us citizens. Wise-up bro.
@@freevent28 but I'm not registered to vote and don't support the federal government and not loyal to this place, so they don't speak for me. So who is this we again🤔
When you fear integrity and accountability, you are no longer the good guys.
Exactly!❤❤
You describe so well the totalitarian, Marxist Dem in one vague sentence. The upside-down flag is another reason to attack the SCOTUS institution.
Agreed .. you become today's Republican party.
Absolutely NO Integrity NO Empathy this Republican party
An upside-down flag is protected by the First Amendment and legislation for all citizens, including the wife of Justice Alito.
Her raising of the inverted flag occurred 3.5 years ago and is artificially being made an issue by the Dem cabal during a national election year. Why? To attack the SCOTUS. To deflect from the Dem cabal's criminal conspiracy of extreme election interference misusing the legal system to "Get Trump, his attorneys, campaign staff, and dozens if not hundreds of Republican attorneys.
The national security mafia and its Dem Rino cabal is a criminal organization.
Time to amend the Constitution to make our government work for the good of the citizenry. All three branches need reform.
“Time to amend…”
It will never happen.
2A is the only way to solve this.
It's not necessarily the system that's bad, it's the people that are voting that are the problem💁♂️
@@Roger-fs5yo yeah - if americans actually bothered to show up and vote, a lot of these problems are solvable..
Yes, we need reform but do not pack the Supreme Court because they don't follow the big government agenda of the democrat party. Raskin is as corrupt as they come.
@@Acer_Maximinus Nonsense
THIS IS WHY JUSTICE IS A JOKE IN THIS COUNTRY !!!
The biggest prison complex in the world with a growing population of displaced homeless over dosed population in the richest country in the world. Really, where's the money?
Best "Just Us" system money can buy.
Lawfare is ok with you ?
Why? If you knew that whole story you would know that his wife did nothing wrong!
@@chucklesthered2338
Agreed the nation IS in distress
Alito is a complete fool. He needs to be impeached. So does Thomas.
When you’re guilty and you know it …blame your wife🎼…DUH DUH DUMB
When you’re guilty and you know it …blame your wife…🎼 DUH DUH DUMB
When you’re guilty and you know it, and you want no one to know it🎼

Canon 1: A judge shall uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary. Canon 2: A judge shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of the judge's activities. Canon 3: A judge shall perform the duties of judicial office impartially and diligently.
The US Supreme Court's recently adopted code of judicial ethics (adopted in writing, but still not binding or enforceable) is very similar to the Code of Judicial Ethics that applies to all other federal judges in the United States. Note that Cannon 2 provides that a judge SHALL AVOID impropriety and the "appearance of impropriety in ALL OF THE JUDGE'S ACTIVITES." [Emphasis added]. That language--avoiding the mere appearance of impropriety inside and outside of court-- appears in several places in the code and runs as a theme throughout it. The whole point is that federal judges are supposed to appear fair and unbiased in all their public-facing activities--not revealing their personal preferences and biases so as to uphold the integrity of the judiciary, and the public's perception of the judiciary as fair and even-handed tribunals. Federal judges are essentially on display 24-7. All citizens of the USA know who these judges are, and thus it takes a particularly noble and disciplined person to serve as a federal judge. Apparently President George W. Bush thought Alito had those qualities...but he obviously got it wrong.
Frankly, a few decades ago, even the appearance of financial entanglements of these judges with the billionaire class would have likely impelled them to RESIGN from the bench. Alito and Thomas--they've already destroyed their personal legacies, and irreparably damaged that of the highest court in the land (not to mention some of their far-right, poorly reasoned decisions and recent court procedural decisions).
It goes with saying that history will not remember this court kindly--especially Thomas and Alito. I feel sorry for the law students who get stuck clerking for them...(no doubt they are thinking long & hard about whether they even want to do it!). Both of those men should absolutely recuse themselves from all issues dealing w/Trump and the attempted coup d'état. Their behavior is shocking, repugnant, and destructive....when their behavior should be above and beyond reproach.
To let anyone in your family fly the flag of the United States of American upside down for DAYS in the front of your home--is a clear violation of the Code of Judicial Ethics. It screams bias in favor of those who tired to overthrown the election. Mr. Alito let that flag fly for DAYS without bringing it down. This act alone should cause him to resign from his post on the high court. Shame on him and shame on Congress and us for tolerating this behavior. Do not believe Alito's First Amendment BS--he knew it was wrong...and that's why he's trying to blame it on his wife who sounds like a lot like Ginny Thomas.
They should RESIGN.
Absolutely.
Something needs to be done. Alito and Thomas need to go.
@@pepotalmario5326 They need to RESIGN.
It shows you support domestic terrorists. We have a Supreme court Justice that is a supporter of the violent overthrowing of our government. I think that's the definition of a traitor.
A honorable man would not throw the blame on his wife!
VOTE BLUE STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT ON NOVEMBER 5, 2024 FOR DEMOCRACY NOT FACISM AND REASON NOT TREASON!
His wife never said, “ This is my husband’s doing.” It’s her flag, and she has a 1st Amendment right to hang it upside down, in her own yard, regardless of what the left is trying to make of it. Raskin is putting words in the wife’s mouth, she never said her husband did this, she did it, and she has the right to do it.
So much for being an unbiased judge.
He’s expressing his 1st amendment right in a belief that the country is in turmoil. What’s wrong with that? The country has gone morally bankrupt. Anyone with two eyes can see this.
Unfortunately, this is the way things are now done in a once great country.
@@perryippolito9262 It wasn't bad until tfg and his sycophants took control.
Justice Alito is truly disgusting, especially, for his cowardly decision to blame his wife for hoisting an upside down flag. Just disgraceful!
Alito and Thomas should be impeached and removed from the SCOTUS bench.
Because they won't do what you want them to?
Should be, but they never will, no matter what they do.
2A is the only way to solve this.
Don’t forget to vote for Trump 🇺🇸
@@Acer_Maximinus oh look everybody, it's somebody on the left calling for violence. Ha ha ha, what a surprise🤷♂️
Go ahead, but only after Trump becomes president.
The Right-wing has a DEEP CONTEMPT for America. They always have.
these judges are out of control. They obviously have a political agenda. This has to stop.
Self-serving justices need to go
Especially the democrats
@@buddyratliff6535both sides buddy, are you actually paying attention?
“This has to stop.”
No.

Man what are you blabbering about NPC🙄
“Will no one stand up for law and order here?”
2A is the only way to solve this.
its not law and order-thats the problem- There is no law holding justices accountable. THAT needs to change.
@kevinmchale-so3bf dude, the Supreme Court doesn't make laws nor do they have any power. They only interpret if something is constitutional or not. There's no reason to hold them accountable for anything.
Go sit down -------->
Certainly not from democrats. Raskin is as corrupt as they come.
You know it was Alito that "leaked" his own draft of Dobbs........ This is an angry, self entitled, spoiled, privileged person who hangs out with Ginny Thomas. FDJT
Without actually knowing yes it was him, I think. Alito hasn’t any integrity. He thinks he’s special.
PERIOD, FDJT
At least we know and can understand where the bad smell is coming from.
I guessed that from the very beginning.
It'll be ok...just stay calm😅
But he didn't do it. His wife, who is under a bus, did it.
This is nonsense, marriage is a partnership, after 55 years of marriage I know. Fifty, fifty, is she did it he is also responsible, fifty, fifty, Coward and a cop out.
It doesn't matter if he did do it. Learn flag protocols.
@@garyszewc3339 He knows the protocol. He intentionally turned it upside down. I mean, his wife, who is under the bus, did.
Sheeeeit. If I threw my wife under a bus, she'd get up, tell the bus off for being a "very naughty boy" and come looking for me. 🙂
Who cares who did it. Is true.
1. how could it take 3 years for this Alito upside down flag story to appear?
2. absolutely nothing will be done, SCOTUS is above the law.
Some neighbors said they feared retribution if they talked about : The Flag Incident ...
Part of the anti American blue communism crew?
KINGS!!!
@@BrattyBettybull. It's election year is the only reason the democrats dug this old story up.
@@josefeibl8230 Blue Communism? How is fear of retribution communist or even a party issue? Insurrection is treason so fly your flag and man up if you believe in a more authoritarian form of government and - believe overthrowing a fair election is OK as long as its your candidate who is doing it. Trump lost the American people's vote by 7MILLION in 2020 and 3 MILLION votes in 2016. Its like the ref is in a Yankees uniform married to a Yankee owner, calling strikes at a Yankee-Red Sox game. The Supreme Court is supposed to be above politics. The fact the NY judge in his Election Interference case has a daughter who is simply employed by Democrats generates regular Republican calls for his recusal YET feel Supreme Court justices who blatantly side with a criminal insurrection (the flag) or whose wife is DIRECTLY INVOLVED in the insurrection (ginni Thomas) is beyond hypocrisy.
Any moral person would recuse themselves. But, these corrupt jokers have no moral compass!
What a horrid example these mugs show for the general public of America. Is there no decency left in this country? Of course, they should recuse themselves, Thomas and Alito should know better. do know better but will not do the right thing. This is why the SC need overhauling and why it has lost so much respect within the country.
You’re right, and his actions on display, tells you all you need to know about his morals, character, and ethics. Don’t blame your wife. That’s lame.
Recuse themselves for what exactly? GOD YOURE EFFING STUPID.
I don't want any republican to cast a vote on my behalf. I will cast my own vote. You can bank on that rich clowns.
If people HATE America they should be FORCED to leave, NOT put on SCOTUS for life!!
The upside down flag is a distress call for a nation in need or in distress.
Did you also know the American flag with the gold fringe on it is not an American flag. It would be as if you Raised any other flag in the USA, disrespectful to add anything to the red white and blue.
Alito must resign.
For what? Using Freedom of Speech that ALL Americans have a right to?
An American judge cannot exercise his constitutional rights. Blue communism says fire him.
@@AppalachianPatriot exactly!
@@AppalachianPatriot wrong; JUDGES do not-look it up.
@@corectomundo2855 All Americans have freedom of speech. It says so in the First Amendment. His wife isn’t a judge so there is that. Even if the judge put the flag up in an upside down manner, that action had nothing to do with any case he was over at that time. Flying the flag upside down is an opinion. Do you support the Palestinian/Hamas supporters removing the American Flag, dragging it through the streets and burning it? Flag burning is freedom of speech. Flying a flag upside down is tame compared to what the terrorists in training are doing.
Judge Alito: It was my wife...................
My dog ate my homework.
He actually blamed his WIFE, how positively Gutless of him.
Lady Justice is no longer blindfolded. What a disgrace.
No behavior from MTG is shocking. This woman is the looniest of tunes!
All she did was question if another congresswoman’s choice in beautification was impeding her ability to read. AOC is the crazy who turned it into some high school drama bs which is about all she’s qualified to do.
Yes I believe that the highest court in the land should have some form of Accountability!
This is the Truest Statement!
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely!”
The Supreme Court needs oversight!
We need to vote blue to turn the senate and congress blue and start impeachment proceedings for all these insurrectionist traitors.
There was no insurrection, no matter what the propaganda stations say.
@@garyszewc3339 There was just a violent attempted overthrow of government which has been admitted by those who have jailed for their violence.
Blonde looks like she stepped off the set of “Quest For Fire.” She shouldn’t have comments about any one’s appearance.
On this occasion I disagree with representative Raskin. Time for recusal has long passed. In light of this admission of supporting a movement to upend US democracy, plus the blatant absence of judgement by Alito, resignation is the only valid option. Furthermore, Chief Justice Robert's should also step back in light of his inability to enforce just behavior by his justices.
Alito's questions during Trump's immunity hearing were so disingenuous.
Wrong...... They are the facts and totally legitimate👌
your so polite. lol- his questions were beyond absurd and his refusal to actually address the the specific case before him was a complete abdication of his responsibility. Pure Partisanship.
@@kevinmchale-so3bf i agree, but he doesn't want to talk about the ex president's case just the precedent... ridiculous
@@Roger-fs5yo How so?
@@Roger-fs5yo why are you still engaging? You said under another comment that you don't support the federal government and do not vote and are just here. Are you just "here" to start 💩?
Alito needs to be kicked out of the country!! What a traitor!!
It's the justice's 1st Amendment right
To free speech if he wants to say the Nation is in distress by hanging his flag upside down !
THOMAS
Term Limits for all SCOTUS !
I love Mr. Raskin. Please tell us how to stop this. It can't just be elections. There must be something the Congress and Senate and the President can do. I'm traumatized by all of this.
Hide under your bed
You might have a iq of 13
If Biden is reelected, he should definitely appoint new justices to the SC and to ensure they get approved, the Dems need to flip the House.
Time to amend the Judiciary Act. Term of 18 years max on SCOTUS, then they rotate out to an appellate circuit.
Never gonna happen. Putting term limits on the justices would require a Constitutional amendment. There will never be another amendment to the Constitution - at least not in the life time of anyone who is alive now.
NO ! 8 YEARS OR 10 ! The same amount of time a president has ...if he has two terms ....8 years !
@@Abmotsad TF? no it wouldn't.
@@CrisisManger-fx4qj
The term for a justice is set by the Constitution in the following text, found in Article III, Section I:
Justices "...shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour."
It says absolutely nothing about limiting their term to a specific time. To do so would require amending Article III. You're wrong.
@Abmotsad No it wouldn't. It just says that Judicial Branch members will hold their office during good behavior. Chief Justice is the only constitutionally specified office. Everything else is left up to Congress as far as the structure of the courts go. As long as they're still a federal judge somewhere, they haven't lost their office.
LAWS NEED TO BE CHANGED TO MAKE SURE NONE OF THIS EVER HAPPENS AGAIN!
Alito didn't take the flag down and hang it the right way did he?!
Alito is an arrogant, disgusting hack. How there isn't a requirement for these obviously partisans to recuse themselves is reprehensible. Alito and Thomas are rotten to the core, but unfortunately, our laws allows these corrupt "justices " to do as they please. How ironic that they are called justices.
If they cannot be legally removed then they should be marginalized by making their votes useless and this can only happen if Biden appoints new justices to the Court, which is why he should win and the House majority flips to Democrats.
I would rather have an upside down American flag than a Ukraine flag, Hamas flag, Palestinian flag or a Pride flag flying at our Capitol.
The Supreme court has 2 justices that do not believe in our Democracy: Alito & Thomas.
Robert's opinion about Alito blatantly anti democracy stand was extremely cowardly!
There should be a judicial committee overseeing the ethics of the SCOTUS. Congress is the lawmaker, and they should make sure that the SCOTUS doesn't destroy the laws that guarantee some sort of legal equality for all Americans.
What law haven't they upheld?
@@garyszewc3339 Roe v. Wade... case law... but you already knew that!😑
they need term limits as well as ehics
He can blame it on his wife all he wants; THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME under the LAW.
what I see and experience is all the people in Congress and in government complaining about the misconduct of everyone, but that is all they do. No one is held to nothing.
When will there be accountability instead of just reaction?
Ha @davidyemm7910 when will there be accountability for the 2020 election that
was stolen?
There is a short & simple form to lodge complaints against federal judges (Alito, Thomas & Cannon).
Search for “AO 310 us courts” to get the judicial complaints form. It’s short & simple to complete.
The legal basis for complaints against Alito, Thomas & Cannon can be breach of 28 U.S. Code § 455
“Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”
One more shocking display of his unfitness to be a justice of the Supreme Court of the USA.
Term limits for all in the political arena
Talk,talk, talk. DOJ won’t do anything and Congress won’t do anything. But here’s something we can all do: stop referring to Alito and Thomas as “ Justice”. They don’t deserve it and it degrades the title. They are Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas. Period. Congressmen, podcasters, newscasters, everybody, stop dignifying them with a title that confers respect when they don’t deserve any. Oh, and to Alito’s neighbors: keep the signs coming till you get better neighbors.
Action speak louder than words
Checks and balances, right ?
Resign or impeach
Regardless of the upside-down flag, how can there be justice in a country when the highest court in the land is rotten to the core - and, in many cases, appointed by a man who is, himself, rotten to the core.
Who regulates this clown show?
mtg has no filter or education. not qualified for this office....
Political symbol upside down is outrageous and unamerican. How can we allow such treacherous act from a supreme court judge. Both him and Clarence need to be removed from office for their roles in acts against our country! The least these two can do is recluse.
Alito should be impeached and removed. PERIOD.
The supreme Joke is a complete disgrace
For being the primary reason the United States has not been completely destroyed by the democRats?
"They skipped out on their legislatives duties"? Shocking.
Term limits for SCOTUS NOW
Get rid of Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas. They should not be justices.
There has to be some type of an oversight committee to maintain the checks and balances of the Supreme court.
Besides being bought, a person's view on life will influence their decision and interpret the law to fit that need.
I love Jamie even if I am at 86 yrs old. He really has A grasp on what is legal. He is GOD sent spokesman. I God Bless this Man!!! JF in Fl
Supreme Court Justice Alito is supposed to represent ALL people, staying out of politics, which is not what he is representing with an upside down flag, no matter his home or not.
America is in Distress!!
You are correct, america is in distress. Glad someone finally flew the american flag upside down to warn the country of the coming danger we are facing if joe Biden, i would say WINS this election but, if he is declared the winner there will be no hope for this country, vote. DONALD J TRUMP 2024❤ GOD BLESS.
Disqualification from holding any power in the courts and is Disgusting. Congress should hold Impeachment inquiries to get rid of or remove sitting judges
President Raskin and VP Crockett. That sounds great to me!
Face it Thomas and Alito are for sale. Luxury vacations, free $250k moter home, college tuition and a rent free home for their mom. That's all it takes to get the decision you want from them. They are above the law.
How can anyone be even a little bit shocked by that woman's behavior at this point?? Honestly now.
TERM LIMITS NOW
I would rather have an upside down American flag than a Ukraine, Palestine or Pride flag waving at our Capitol!
Absolutely!
You have a corrupt Supreme Court just like a third world country.
I agree Judge Alito is correct!! Our nation is in Great Distress!! This democrat yapping is as believable as saying a venomous snake will not bite!
the enemy is in the white house.
The public has to remember that this Supreme Court is a court in which a Justice, who is still on that court, told a G.O.P. senator in 2020, the year of a presidential election, that he was thinking of leaving the court because he didn't make enough money, then Right Wing billionaires started befriending that Justice and giving him gifts, including a recreational vehicle costing more than a quarter of a million dollars. Buying his mother's home, renovating it, and letting her continue to live there rent-free for years. Paying for that justice's elaborate vacations.
Then came the 2000 presidential elections. Al Gore received 50,999,897 popular votes and George W. Bush received 50,456,002 popular votes. So Bush received 543,895 LESS than Gore, but the Supreme Court decided that Bush won!
It doesn't end there! Very briefly, another Justice currently on the Supreme Court had property listed for sale for two years, then when he was confirmed to the Court, he quickly got a buyer! That buyer is head of a law firm which frequently has cases before the Supreme Court; in fact they appeared before the Court in 22 cases in the years after that land deal!
Or how about the Justice, (Alito), whose wife has a deal leasing 160 acres of land to an energy company, for a percentage of the profits, and who has ruled against the EPA a number of times? Even reversing a law signed by President Obama to protect the environment?
I could continue, but I think you get the picture!
An upside down flag means our country is in trouble.
MSDNC
Awe, you poor thing. Why are you here then?
Trump 2024 the greatest president of all time
It isn't limited to ethics: the 14th Amendment cites ENGAGING IN insurrection. Alito didn't have to be attacking the Capital to engage in aiding and abetting the insurrection. Several of those convicted of sedition were outside the Capital during the attack. And they had weapons arsenals at the ready.
Isn’t it a federal crime to put the flag up upside down unless the country is in distress?
God, I hope mainstream media stays on this until action is taken against our now disgraceful Supreme Court.
Mainstream media is the problem. They are paid to spread the big government agenda. Pack the Supreme Court if they don't agree with their agenda
Hey @AliceR27, I hope all the lying commie mainstream media get arrested and sent to prison.
Sad when 1st Amendment doesnt apply equally to every Citizen
Its a SYMBOL OF DANGER A HOLE
AT LEAST HE DONT CHEAT ON HIS WIFE LIKE YOU DO
So Raskin cheated on his wife? Please provide evidence.
@@trevx3680 don't have to, he knows what I'm saying
Justice Alito should man up. Blaming your spouse just doesn’t cut it for a man of his status.
I can't believe he blamed it on his wife. We have had a flag pole for over thirty years and my wife has never hung the flag ever. She always tells me to do it.
Bless justic Alito!!!....he sees the danger America is in from lunatics like ratskin...full spped ahead MAGA!!..
Self awareness...zero 😂😂😂
RATSKIN Needs to realize his Karma keeps biting him but he continues to ignore it and continue to lie and mislead
You need to realize that six grade level analogies give you ZERO credibility. Please explain why you have such a backwards opinion.
Be interesting to see if local security cameras picked up who placed the flag
Fantastic! Over to the drama Jerry Springer show. Oh never mind. This is MSNBC. Oh I think they're one in the same
For those of you unable to see that this country is indeed in distress, i hope you wake up soon.
It wasn't bad until tfg and his clan got into office. It will be better as soon as Biden is re-elected!
That flag was up there several months ago and now they're making a big deal of it.
Stop being polite about it. Be honest. It's a scam it's a sham. just call it. Be strong! Oh man you Democrats have to show how much stronger you are.
what a bunch of cowards!!!!! And MTG should be kicked off the committee!!!
SCJ Alito is saying our country is in DISTRESS
There is nothing to debate or discuss; they are openly corrupt and Alito and Thomas must either resign or be removed.
In his description of MTG, he left out disgusting and despicable.
Guy is a disgrace and wholly unAmerican as is Justice Uncle Thomas. Media needs to stick their big ole microphones in their face. Time for some answers and accountability. Long past it really. 💙🇺🇸
Upside down flag? No crime here! What is the big deal? Why do you make the minors major. Is this all you have. The upside down flag is a universal distress signal and the USA is certainly experiencing distress. We are presently experiencing a national emergency.
This is what absolute immunity looks like.
So what should we the citizens do to get these two criminals removed from the scotus bench right now? And by the way I can't believe Louis dejoy is still the head of the United States postal service
One time, I put a campaign sign in my yard that my now ex husband disagreed with and which he then promptly took down. Question: Why are the Alito's still married after the upside down flag perfidy?
No shame no ethics
Doesn’t Alito have grounds keepers or security people who would have noticed this? Or are they in on this flag deal too? Or birds of a feather…
Alito prefaced his remarks by saying he was not concerned about the case before the coût, but if ….. then Alito went on to discuss purely hypotheticals (what ifs) situations in which plausible total immunity would be warranted.
