'Stop the Steal' symbol reportedly on display at Justice Alito's home

- Опубліковано 16 тра 2024
- Judicial experts say Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito violated ethics rules by displaying a symbol of the 'Stop the Steal' movement as former President Donald Trump tried to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election. According to a New York Times report, an upside-down American flag was flown outside Alito's home near Washington while the Supreme Court was considering challenges to the election back in 2021.
The gesture now calls Alito's impartiality into question, as the court is currently deciding whether Trump has immunity from prosecution related to the January 6th attack on the Capitol. In a statement to the Times, Alito said his wife flew the inverted flag in response to a neighbor's display of a profane anti-Trump sign.

What do YOU think?
I think we have a problem with "guidelines" rather than rules that can be literally enforced
They all need to follow the Law, and the Constitution. NO POLITICAL decisions at all!!! SCOTUS is not a political party 🤬
The American flag, "Old Glory", being flown upside down means the fort or territory is under a distress or an emergency, and they need help immediately. There is a list of protocols.
I think that the 2020 election was stolen. Full stop.
He is a traitor
According to U.S. code for the flag, the flag should never be displayed upside down "except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property
Thank you for that fact ! Crazy how a Supreme Court doesn’t know this already!
Yeah, you can burn the flag, but you can't display it upside down? Really?
Well then, I think the loss of your right to vote and have your vote tabulated correctly in an election is huge violation of your Constitutional Rights! 🤔
Congress has ruled that this sort of thing is covered under the 1st amendment. That's how someone can get away with burning the flag.
No ethics whatsoever.
A neighbor having an anti Trump sign doesnt equal a country in distress. The trolls are working overtime.
An upside down flag doesn't mean the country is in distress no matter what. It means people inside the building are under attack and need help.
I don't understand why this wasn't talked about much earlier?
Because it wasn't anything to talk about. Or do you think that an attempted insurrection on January 6th isn't a sign that our country is in distress?
A good question. Regardless of the meaning of it, or what the Alitos thought it meant, it's a disgusting thing for a judge or other government employee to do.
@@ScottCleve33 People still buy the insurrection nonsense after all this time?
@@retriever19golden55But your ok with burning the American flag and killing babies?
@@ScottCleve33Our country having been in distress is irrelevant since that isnt why Alito's wife displayed it in this fashion

It has ZERO to do with President Trump
BS, Alito is full of it. He lives in the same house as his wife and he admits seeing it if he said his wife did it, where is his loyalty to the law and us the citizens paying his salary. He has to be held accountable. Neither Justice Alito or Justice Thomas should be sitting on any case related to the 2020 elections or trump
Alito is undercover. Root him out and put him in prison.

@@victorguzman146 you can explain the flag code. Alito is an agent of trump in this supreme court. Take some ivermectin and disinfectant.
@victorguzman146 Our Country is in Dire Destress !
When has the community ever thought the Supreme Court was impartial? That’s just plain ignorant

@@Moore_cookies51 How is placing an upside-down Flag , which symbolizes distress in the country, not doing their job?
Struggling on how to give Trump absolute immunity without giving it to Biden as well.
Go Seal Team Six!
That's why the corrupt SCOTUS is delaying the case at least until they see who wins. If President Biden does, they'll tailor the decision specifically for Trump and not President Biden.
How absolutely disgusting !!!!!!
With what? The misleading report from the media?
Just when you thought that being openly corrupt was the worst thing about the Roberts court.
I’m so sickened by the fact our Supreme Court is displaying the most disgusting behaviors !
This is behavior and lack of basic decorum is exactly why most people don’t trust government.
He knows what he meant by what he did or who ever did it
A man who helped destroy a woman's right to choose doesn't think she deserves the respect owed a fully cognizant human being.
If their impartiality could reasonably be questioned, a Justice must recuse under US Code 28.455.
How is it possible that very little can be done!! How are we here in our country????🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Someone just said that the upside down flag means that America is in distress, and that it's got nothing at all to do with Trump or his political preferences.....if he even has any.
@@edwardlittle5541 It has everything to do with traitor don. His organized insurrection, fake electors, failure to call in the National Guard who were waiting and wondering. He incited the attackers and now he is aiding and abetting his nearly 1000 foot soldiers who did his bidding and have been convicted for their violent crimes.
Its a signal of distress.
It is a signal of distress and he's the source of it.
Repulsive behavior by Supreme Court justices.
He has a Right to His Freedom of Expression of Speech under the Constitutional Admendments just like everyone else does.
Really? This guy just equated what Clarance Thomas did with Sotomayor?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣SO UNEDUCATED IT MEANS AMERICA IN DISTRESS
He knew our country was in distress
'was'? keep up.
He is the one causing the distress. His behavior is beyond contemptible!
Upside down flag does NOT mean the country is in distress. It means people inside the building are under physical attack and need help. It should have been flown on the Capitol on J6, but Nancy Pelosi couldn't even use a window without compromising her location. Tuck Frump!
Alito, you are a disgrace to the Supreme Court, and especially to this country
God bless Alito and the United States.

I thought something was stinking in the Supreme Court, I didn't know the stinky fish was Alito. I know Thomas is a dirty skunk, but I have never experienced the two together. Our nation is in a difficult situation, but we can handle this injustice.
You need to wash, with soap.
Alito and Thomas both need to recuse themselves immediately. What can be done to stop him from being on the immunity court?
Thomas has done NOTHING WRONG - maybe u r talking about him being black? That’s DISCRIMINATION! Thomas is a good man and GREAT SUPREME COURT JUDGE!
Be quiet child, the 2020 election was rigged.
@@dianna7795 Um, no. He's abused women and taken millions in illegal bribes. He's basically corrupt as they come. Look it up.
So dumb. It’s a symbol of distress. Has nothing to do with anything else regardless of how breathlessly you try.
Always in distress...
Neither Alito or Thomas should be involved with any Trump litigation, period!
Both of them are compromised.
Americans say the same thing about every last democrat.
@@webportal6659
You can’t back that up with any evidence at all!
More hearsay and whataboutisms?

Upside down American Flag MEANS OUR COUNTRY IS IN DISTRESS- has NOT ONE THING TO DO WITH TRUMP! Pleez
At least someone knows what it means
It was right after Jan 6th and he's a supreme Court judge so why is he doing it at all and why are you coming up for a defense for him when he blamed his wife?
This is the dumbest thing I've seen, you democrat nazis will stop at nothing to ruin this country
They ae idiots and traitors. God help us bless you so you will bless the United States again and bring reasoning back to the forefront of everyone's minds.
@@RobertTrey-ov1lzI don't see him coming up with a defense, I see him stating a fact.
Stop it, stop it.
So flying different flags at the white house is ok .
So why doesn't this apply to the judges and prosecutors in New York? Or to congress or the DOJ or FBI or Homeland Security? And the states are determining that the election was not legitimate in Fulton county, Maricopa county and Philadelphia.
Give me a break.
We need to vote them out. Thomas and his wife helped planned a coup and now they have the power to give a mad man power to go on a blood bath tour.

A blood bath tour? That narrative has been debunked by EVERYONE! Get real!
There are no Ethics for SCOTUS. Can Thomas and Alito be impeached?
Stop the steal symbol? Maybe y'all need to learn how to American 🇺🇲

Wow... where's the bottom⁉️⁉️
Freedom of Speech. He has that right.
No. He has a responsibility to be impartial. He has exposed serious bias that should disqualify him from passing judgement in cases involving Trump.
Not when he's forcing his speech on the citizens by turning it into law.

Good exposed root of the justice department ..
Big times disgrace..
STOP THE CONTROL Enforcement WHO ARE YOU NO MORE CONTROL
If a person gets to the Supreme Court, you have to assume they are pretty well educated, (probably by Ivey Leaguers)
Why wouldn't they assume that someone was trying to goad them into a public response just to publicly call them out at a later point?
Ask the neighbor
Delaying helps Trump, that's the ONLY reason to take the case!
No one believes him.
STOP Alito!!!
ALITO SINS.
CONFESS.
On the note of justices being political justice, Ginsburg had no problem, donating money to abortion lobbyist. You all never had a problem with that while she would hear cases based on abortion.
Alito has Asthma!
So?
"Stop the steal" is not what the upside down flag means. Do some research on military history.
Seems like some one nade up the phase. Stop changing the meaning of words!
Always blaming their wife's
The Flag flying upside down is a sign of distress. Read Flag etiquette!
permanent distress...
Sure, no one believes what you guys are doing..
SMH
This made the news????
Alito needs to recuse himself from the presidential immunity case. The Supreme Court MUST have ethics enforced since they are not professional enough to hold themselves to a higher standard.

He needs removed.
Someone in the comment section said that an upside down flag means that America is in distress and that it has nothing to do with Trump.
So I'm wondering why people think it has something to do with Trump? How did they come to that conclusion?
Youre the threat.
@edwardlittle5541 your absolutely correct, and has nothing to do with Trump. It's supposed to signal to distress and danger to life and property.

Listen all the crying , pissing and moaning. Who cares his wife can do what she wants.
Nobody has a problem when people are pulling down the American flag and putting up the Palestinian flag . I'm pretty sure their not explaining the whole story with the dispute with the neighbor that led to the flag being put upside down .
Exactly. Not one peep from Democrats on those protestors. How about the small Ukraine flags held up by Democrats in Congress during a session, to give the; Ukraine Country more billions to fight a war that was never declared by Congress? That is quite serious!
his wife did it. not the neighbour.
Who runs the chicken coop? The FOX OR THE CHICKEN 🐔?
Trump 2024 wooooo hoooooo
Time to remove Thomas and Alito! #SCOTUSiscompromised

So you support a full investigation into your own party vs just those you hate.
That should be grounds to remove Alito. How appalling. This is our highest court judge.
Wow. What a creep
Why would anyone with integrity and intelligence feel the way you do? Please listen to this ridiculous broadcast again and ask yourself if there is any evidence at all considering you live in the United States of America, to think what they told you to think about Alito. Trying to help you distinguish between the lies that can hurt you being broadcast by media and the truth that will save you if you choose it.
The upside down flag is a symbol of distress, that picture was taken after the j6 protest, if a liberal judge did this, you'd be clapping. You people seriously have no critical thinking skills.

"a nation in distress"
obfuscate: render obscure, unclear, or unintelligible.
What does equivocating mean?
verb (used without object)
, e·quiv·o·cat·ed, e·quiv·o·cat·ing. to use ambiguous or unclear expressions, usually to avoid commitment or in order to mislead; prevaricate or hedge: When asked directly for his position on disarmament, the candidate only equivocated.
A photo obtained and published by the newspaper on Thursday shows the flag flying on Jan. 17, 2021, days after the Republican’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to prevent certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. Dozens of the pro-Trump rioters were carrying similarly inverted flags and chanting slogans like “Stop the Steal.”
The American flag is flown upside down when the nation is in duress, which our nation is currently in and is why I fly mine upside down too. Nothing to do with Trump. Get it right people!
Is the nation in distress?!

I think you mean "lose" first off. Second off if you knew anything about the Supreme Court which you clearly don't you would know they have a responsibility to avoid the appearance of impropriety. It means they aren't allowed to openly show a political view/bias for one side or the other. It's actually a part of their job.

@@victorguzman146 what did I say that was incorrect specifically? Alito already said it was his wife in response to an argument with a neighbor over a "F Trump" sign posted by the neighbor. That's a political statement even if it's a response to a neighbor. The household making a public political statements on your front lawn is the literal definition of a look of impropriety.
@@turner3951 The upside down flag symbolizes the country being in dire distress, like neighbors fighting over political differences. It is NOT to symbolize pro-Trump sentiment. You're purposely misinterpreting it to serve your argument but the flag code is clear and was there before Trump even thought of running for office.
