Both of my middle finger to the entire injustice system.
I'll give them both of mine too.
But don’t do anything about it.
How do you expect anyone to obey the law when those who enforce it think they're above it!
What law was broken
Show me the law where you cannot fly your flag upside down?
No law broken.
The us flag upside down means the U.S is in distress.
@@maternst1you’re allowed to, but you must recuse from relevant court cases. It’s pretty simple.
Lmfao it's not against the law
Recuse? He should resign- these guys have no shame, and zero credibility.
Wow! Supreme Court! Who's in charge? This is wrong on all levels. And he threw his wife under the bus.😮😮
Interesting timing; when does a man become responsible for his own home and not blame his wife?
when does it become your business?
@@baxtertaylor6638
What a ridiculous question.
Just because their Judges doesn’t mean they can’t have political preferences as long as he does his job in accordance of the law. Don’t matter what he does personally
democrats: waa waa waa… let’s remove a justice for freedom of speech and support a VP who encouraged the bailing out of blm rioters who assaulted police officer
@@user-ju6vh3hk3e umm....wrong. His personal political views do matter because SCOTUS cannot be biased.
Traitor
Traitors from Top to Bottom.
Rapper ice cube is endorsing President Trump, my radical leftist fake news media reporters
What happens next when the people on top of our government refuse to obey the same laws as all those underneath them ?
I agree but the government has been doing it already for decades.
@@charleszeitler8536 You're right, it has been going on for decades. The difference is now it's completely out in the open. They don't even deny it, all they do is say it's our fault as Americans that we are making a big deal out of it.
Biden refusing to release the recordings is an affront to democracy.
I don't believe in lifetime appointments of what are clearly political jobs.
The courts are supposed to be above the political, but when you allow money to buy access to power, no branch is above corruption.
The only "political job" they have is clearly being allocated to them by media cohorts. Listen to arguments of any hearings and you'd know that.
Totally agree
That's why you give SC justices lifetime appointments. To best remove the corrupt influence. Dems would otherwise always find some way to remove only the non liberal justices, because that's how corrupt tge Dem party is; fueled by the total ignorance and manipulabilty of its base.
When Dems aren't talking about how every non liberal justice needs to be removed, their talking about expanding the court, so try to sell your BS elsewhere.
Recuse or resign Corrupt Justices Alito and Thomas! The American people do not want your bias, corruption and traitorous behavior in our Courts! You should not be privileged to life long appointments!
We don’t need a bias SCOTUS.
Alito should resign!!!
And take Themas with him.
Funny how you worry about a man flying a flag upside down but you don't worry about people burning them
What elected or appointed official of office burnt a flag?
@@JazznRealHipHopI don't know but I do know of a particular political party that constantly attacks our Supreme Court , even a high official that stood on the steps of the court and called out for physical violence against them.
This isn't just some random angry man. He's a Supreme Court Justice who should know damn well what an upside down flag means.
@@WabiSabiLady No one trades in their Rights for a position. No one.
@@mariahenrich9602 No one said he doesn't have the right to fly it. We are saying he needs to take responsibility for his actions. Hanging our flag upside down further pushes what he knows to be a lie.
this court is off its rails.. God help US
If you believe any of this nonsense you need God for sure
YOUR ENGLISH PRETTY GOOD FOR A Z TROLL OR A MAGAOT
When a flag is flying upside-down, its a military term of our country is under distress...
With democrats in power, it is.
"yeah it's okay i fly the flag like that because a private citizen nearby hurt my feelings" Sounds like they also want to be private citizens, so quit and be one.
Well said!! The in your face bias is a disgrace to our country!!
He needs to be under more than scrutiny.. blaming it on his wife? Was the dog busy?
You are right, Alito needs to be back under the rock from which he slithered.
Pretty sure the upside down flag is a signal for "im in trouble"
Flying the flag upside down is disgraceful for anyone, let alone a Supreme Court Justice.
I am surprised he hasn’t had the decency to at least apologize. This revelation is absolutely unacceptable. How on earth can any American display the flag upside down. This is utterly disgraceful and he really should recuse himself. SCOTUS needs a serious review.
How do you think Alito and Thomas will vote???
They will vote Faxsist.
🤮🤮🤮
Instead of facing scrutiny can we get them to face some consequences?
I put my flag upside down to protest this lunacy.
How about a pay raise??
Consequences for flying a flag upside down?
@@onlyinamerica4916Bot why?
...and the coward blames wife... pathetic
The flag upside down reflects your country is in chaos! Commies amok here!
There aren't many communists anymore. Also, the trump cult use the upside down flag to show their displeasure at trump losing the election. That means Alito needs to recuse himself from the January 6th case because of the perception of bias. So does Thomas because his wife helped plan the 1-6 insurrection.
His home looks the opposite of in distress.
Mr my wife did it🤪
More like "MAGA spoken here" at the Alito house.
What country are you from? Sane non MAGA Americans need the support of our allies around the globe.
Commies....no, it is Fascists.
If Justice Alito's wife actually did hang the flag upside down, what better evidence to show how un American this judge is?
What you said makes zero sense...make it make sense please
@@onlyinamerica4916Young account no content nothing to see here.
Dude actually blamed his wife. Let that sink in.
Dear Media, please continue to report on this story. Don't lose focus by whatever the MAGA's come up with to misdirect!
Pathetic conduct, shows u he doesn't care about the flag or for all those veterans who have served and died defending our country.
Folks should start complaining about his egregious conduct.
Crooked if he doesn't recuse himself.
You should educate yourself on the US Flag Code:
"(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
It is you who are disrespecting those veterans by being ignorant and not understanding proper decorum.
He should recuse himself immediately.
He and Thomas should be KICKED OFF THE SUPREME COURT FOR ETHICS VIOLATIONS
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🎼
When you’re guilty and you know it …blame your wife🎼 DUH DUH DUMB 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a supreme court justice.....is this really surprising in 2024? 🙄
They have already established that they don’t care what anyone thinks.
Could it be Alitos wife and Thomas's Wife were acting participants in Trumps coup attempt. Hmmmm!!
Could it be you're a conspiracy theroist
Could be you're right! Trump packed the Supreme Court as part of his Jan. 6 coup.
Bahahahahaha sure bud, just make sure your tinfoil hat isn't too tight
He needs to be off the court along with clearance Thomas
How about under duress for the upside-down flag, as originally intended.
Or keep pushing the 6th narrative 😂
His home doesn't look to be in distress.
So there's that.
@@Kimm.J u ccp deepstate actors better have escape plans
@@Kimm.J But his country is, which is his home.
You're not very good at this.
@@Kimm.J No, but the country is! That's his point! Moe Ron
@@Kimm.J our country is under duress, so in a way yes his home
HE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE BENCH WITH THOMAS THE BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER
It doesnt matter. It was still at your house
It doesn’t matter… he will still keep is job. Cope 😂
Yes, but it clearly matters.
This judge is not up to the task or the job he holds.
@@tr7938 A judge is only “not up to the task of the job he holds” when you and your democRAT buddies disagree with him 🤣
We the people must make our voices heard over political campaign contributors corrupt and self-aggrandizing influence amplification.
It’s fully loaded
Alito: Well at least she didn't put up our Confederate battle flag.
The picture was from 3 years ago. Why now?
Exactly, but why not now? Is there best time to expose it? You name it.😊
Odor....odor in the court!! This guy Stinks worse all the time, with his good buddy Clarence really smellin' up the joint!!
Keep crying while the SCOTUS still has a conservative majority 🤣
Oh I forgot also a serial LIAR.
Whatever happened to Live and let live?
Free speech? Then blames his wife.
SHAME!
If Alito recuses himself then every Supreme Court justice who thinks that the 2020 election was free and fair with no problems has to recuse him/herself also. We can't have bias and bias swings both ways.
Then kids can be crazy sometimes
Bitter and angry Sam Alito is neither dignified or impartial. He has no shame. He should have previously recused and deserves much more scrutiny with actual accountability. SCOTUS must be remedied.
Keep crying while the SCOTUS still has a conservative majority 🤣
Why not blame the in-laws? Silly man
Alitos excuse is equal to my dog ate my homework.
This is not a crime and it is not news worthy. Get real!
My neighbor annoys me so I fly the American flag upside down? Duh. 🤡
They both should recuse, they are both bought and paid for
HE SHOULD BE FIRED
*SCROTUS THE CHUMPREME COURT*
NO RESPECT FOR SCROTUS
This is how empires fall...
Nobody above the law
Correct...what law was broken
O😊h that's terrible,it's so wrong of a judge on,the supreme Court 😮😮😮😮
With justice alitos and justice Thomas obvious actions, biased actions, wife’s actions or involvement, these 2 justices definitely should recuse themselves from the cases involving 45! As well as these justices should be investigated for their biased opinion and behavior, maybe it’s time to be rid of them! If they truly feel that way and it goes against the oath they have taken then obviously they possibly can’t make rulings in cases that coincide with the constitutional law but make rulings based upon their own political views! Unacceptable! 💯🤬🤬🤬
What the hell wrong with you Lefty what about when Congress flying Ukraine flag in Congress they should all be Barr WOW
Keep working on it your English is improving, it's called unity against a tyrant who invaded another nation a ruthless dictator who won't stop there, Not Con Corleone the other one.
@@frankd.506 no it's called God almighty there are a lot men that lost their life to defend the Jews amen WOW
Nothing burger
The flag upside down just means you're finding the nation to be in distress.
Its not against the law rather its protected by law
He can’t be impartial.
How so? Because he hung his flag upside down. Cope more.
Name one impartial justice.
@@johnathanfaircloth9639Is that sarcasm I hope for your sake?
@@frankd.506 C.O.P.E. more. People can have different opinions from you, doesn't make them wrong, biased or 'impartial'.
@@johnathanfaircloth9639 You do understand he wasn't flying our flag upside down because he was in a hurry of course he's impartial that's what he's all but shouting out to people .
The Justices wives have the same free speech as everyone else. They should not expect their wives to adhere to the impartiality rules as the judge. Can you imagine any other man, other than the military, expecting their wives to follow their work rules? How are they suppose to force their wives to do it?
The old my wife did it excuse...
Did the wife catch that fish and he took pics with it too??
Freedom of speech...
Except not when your a representative of the government, those freedoms then have consequences
Mr. Romero, when you know nothing about our laws, please refrain from giving comments online about them.
This is just getting to Pattie, let’s go after the real criminals Leah, and quit wasting time here let’s look out for the American people and figured out this pettiness.
He shouldn’t receive scrutiny, he should be removed from the bench.
The Supreme Court is supposed to set an example for our citizens.
democrats: Waaa waaa waaa… the SCOTUS has a conservative majority so let’s come up with a weak pretext to remove a justice 😭🤣
@richietavarez1200 , the only thing that's weak here, is your reply. Crooks in justices' clothing.
@@firefighterJP democrats: waa waa waa let’s find a pretext to remove a justice while support a VP who encouraged blm rioters be bailed out for assaulting law enforcement

Oh , I believe him 😑👌
Last time I checked this is a free country and you can fly the flag whatever the way you want🥱!
You've missed the point entirely.
At least he’s not burning the flag like most JB supporters 😂
Biden supporters are not burning flags. Ridiculous comment!!
So he blames the wife. Lol. We cannot have politically biased justices on the surprise Court. Judge Thomas’s wife as well has influenced him
Him & clarence need impeached
No They should stay - they are the only true constitutionalists on the court
@@jdluntjr76226 no, they're crooks
@@jdluntjr76226I'm sure that's what the billionaires who bought them said too .
😂 you’ll get over it pilgrims That’s all you can do
Any judges that are supposed to stand for the rule of law and justice are in dereliction of duty if they support criminal activity and any people that are charged with criminal activity.
Such as any judges currently openly supporting a lawfully known indicted criminal defendant that is currently free on bail since that horrid mug shot.
Keep crying while Roe v. Wade was overturned 😂
@@richietavarez1200
Have you checked the population of female rights voting pool?
You should. It's a yuuuge number and you won't like it- but it will help you to be prepared. 🙂
@@Kimm.J have you checked how many people are angry because of the JB economy(Bidenomics), the border, gas prices, Israel and Ukraine? Oh yeah but abortion is top of the list 🤣
@@richietavarez1200
Women and the families that love them... are more worried about their health than border issues that have plagued every president... ever, including Trump.
@@richietavarez1200 The economy with record jobs, high wages, record stock market? That economy? Blaming Biden for Hamas and Putin attacks? Sorry, no, only 80 IQs would blame him for that and they are voting Trump already...
…vote over vitriol…
F the U$A
So why are they just now making this public? Is something sketchy going on here??
Now we’re know is MAGA judges inside the department of justice
Dear god, he flew the US flag in distress at his house??!! oh my god I just peed myself this is so scary!!! I'm so tired of these republican traitors, I'll always vote for the true Ukrainian patriots, the democrat party.
Every single American has the right to fly a flag upside down anytime they like. It is amazing how many people in this country I’ve turned against the first amendment.
Omfg. Grow up. He cannot be political.
Thomas taking unbelievable lavish vacations and gifts, his wife plotting with the insurrectionists, and now Alito? I really hope the women who stayed home in 2016 understand how they gutted Roe v Wade for their daughters and granddaughters.
Keep crying while the SCOTUS still has a conservative majority 🤣
I just love that Alito and Thomas drive you people on the left nuts. 6-3, thank President Trump.
That a big fish, he catch. If you have dream about catching a huge fish like a lot of people, you do what Alito do, which is go Alaska with 2 rich friend. He vote for Trump. And he and his wife disappoint in result. Neighbor rub it in with mean signs on yard. Mrs Alito do the upside down flag. It sound pretty straight forward, the excuse. Fishing and someone laugh at your disappointment in major election.
This will be met with silence and then nothing and more silence and more nothingness !!
Because it's nothing, coming from the party of flag burning.
The best Justices money can buy.
Waste of time. Cbs should use their time to do actual journalism and stop being activist for biden.
Judges should remain impartial..
Not taking expense fishing trips with the defendant..
If you think that's ok you should rethink it..
@JeanBeranek just like the judges in ny handling trump cases. It shows how bias the media is
Alito, resign immediately!
Why, we are a nation in distress
Nope, economy is great, inflation is back down, jobs/wages up, stocks at all time highs. We are doing just fine here, maybe you are from somewhere else...
@@diamondlion47 Gas at almost $5 unaffordable housing owned or rented insurance cost up 50% food still 40% higher electricity up 30% ya everything is just Peachy
@@onlyinamerica4916 Good thing wages are rising above inflation that is back at normal levels. Saudi Arabia is literally in recession bc they refuse to increase OPEC oil production to keep gas prices up. Add the Ukraine war, Middle East tensions and US gas companies being no help and yeah, gas prices are going to be up. Literally nothing any president can do about that. The oil companies don't need more of our hand outs to drill, they give hundreds of billions in buybacks to their shareholders.
Silly excuse. Some of those justices who appear compromised should not be having the final say.
Keep crying while the SCOTUS still has a conservative majority 🤣
Who cares
Note how members of the party of "personal responsibility" always blame someone else.
Democrats scared trumps getting in
The sign of distress in a nation under extreme distress from a illegitimate government gone very bad. Seems very appropriate to me.
Scrutiny?
We're about to tell him to resign
Resign for what reason?
Was st0len
Trump was right. When your a star you can do anything you want ...and they'll let ya do it.
Just ask Diddy....
Freedom of speech
4 US CODE section 8.
Respect for Flag:
(a)The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
Nope, guy is literally a lawbreaking traitor that doesn't believe in free elections when he loses. Sad and pathetic.
He shouldn’t recuse himself. No . He should be charged. That’s if justice matters.
With what comrade?
Justice doesn't matter that more than obvious.
Charged with what exactly?
Stop using pro communist propaganda in your so called report.
Ali to needs to step down !
I’m more concerned over not just Sotomayor being caught using taxpayer paid staffers to strong-arm public schools, libraries, and other taxpayer funded entries to buy truckloads of her book, but that the media deflects a real possible crime of conflict of interest on steroids.
It's a symbol of A NATION IN DECLINE. We are A NATION IN DECLINE. You will see more of this
Red states are in decline, that is for sure...
Alito: "Scrutiny? oh no, what shall I do, where shall I go?"
Alito already thinks he's untouchable and above the law, what does he care?
Stack the damn court, Joe! *BIDEN 2024*
Scott MacFarlane is one of my favorite voices to give us the news - even when it's bad news. About bad people.
