His wife probably hung it that way accidentally. Why is this even a story in 2024??

Really?

Alito is 74. He married his wife in 1985 when she was a law librarian. Will estimate that she is 62 at a minimum. I'm 62. I'm pretty progressive. I also learned about how to hang a flag when I was a Girl Scout at 10 as well as how not to. Even if Mrs. Alito wasn't a Scout, I can't imagine that she made it through the '60s and '70s w/o hearing about flag etiquette. Seriously.

DH was a political appointee at one point early in his career. You better believe that if I ran a flag up the pole and realized it was upside down, I would have brought that flag down stat lest there be any repercussions for a perceived unpatriotic act at the home of a political appointee.

And who runs the flag up the pole without then looking at it once its at the top - no one.

The fact that this flag was up for days tells you everything that we need to know about how Alito views the ethics of his job.

And Justice A-hole served in the military for years.

It’s not just his house.

So your spouse installs swastika on your lawn, and when it's suggested this looks bad for you you're like, "I cannot *possibly* be responsible for the swastikas that my spouse has installed on my lawn. And I have a job that requires me to have excellent judgment! Did I mention people have to trust my excellent judgment for my job, one of the most important jobs in the country, to have any legitimacy. What's the problem?

He just says his spouse did it. He put flag out just like he released the overturning of roe. There is no proof his wife did this but there is along history of Alito lying.

Actually there is no excuse or valid explanation for Alito. SCOTUS just needs to ignore vulgar language and rise above partisanship.

Personally, he may want to reflect on why this sort of vitriol was directed at him and his spouse and whether he can strive to be the person his neighbor expects him to be.

It’s interesting how he immediately threw his wife under the bus.

It’s also interesting that “flying the flag upside down insurrectionist style” isn’t at all a normal or logical response to “my neighbor was an ahole to me.”

Oh please. Alito isn’t throwing his wife under the bus, his wife did it. It fits her previous behavior and there’s no indication otherwise.

The neighbors using expletive signs around kids? He just needs to keep his distance; they seem unhinged.

I have no insider knowledge of this but I bet it was a Tuck Frump sign.

Hey, does anyone here live in his neighborhood?

Sorry. Doesn't work.

Facts be damned! I’m right because I said so!

I know this is hard for you, but people in high positions have different work rules, ethics, protocol, and professional standards than trolls on the internet.

But he didn’t say that in one of his telling of the story, which suggests it was made up as explanation.

Turns out he and his wife are the partisan hotheads they’re accusing their neighbors of being. Not super neighborly behavior from the scummy Alitos, but what else can one expect from a liar like him.

Must be why he blamed it on his wife.

Just like Menendez. I guess blaming the wife is the one thing the right and left can agree on.

Why is it so hard to believe the wife turned the flag upside down?

Why is it so hard to believe that he knows this is a terrible look and he's throwing her under the bus?

This. I was married to a guy in a public role/job that came with a ton of rules and I was well aware that I needed to be mindful of them too. Optics matter. Professionalism matters.

So, not allowed to disagree publicly with your husband?

My husband was too professional to even express a political opinion. As it should be. He didn’t discuss politics with anyone. His own children didn’t even know where he stood politically until he retired. I shared my opinions with my friends but would never publicly take a position, no. I didn’t volunteer on campaigns until he retired. I can’t emphasize this enough but that is how it should be for roles that are non partisan and it’s sad that this seems to shock people.

That is your choice and it is not shocking at all. Mrs. Alito was allowed to make a different choice.

Do you have the same criticism for Judge Merchant donating to Biden?

The fact that you think we have choices is more evidence that you don’t understand anything we’re saying about rules, ethics, and professional conduct. Yes, it was her choice to create bad optics that make her husband look unethical and unprofessional. I mean, everyone can choose to violate rules, norms, and professional conduct, okay. That’s not a pass. But it was probably him and let’s face it, this is not the only evidence of his lack of integrity and ethics.

NYT and CNN raising this issue now is all about getting Alito to recuse for the upcoming J6 cases. I’m pointing out the stunning hypocrisy of people being OK with judge Merchan not recusing and the stunning hypocrisy of those who [/b]think the little woman should just keep her opinions to herself.

[b]

We can explain it to you but we can’t make you understand it. Spouses of people in non-partisan leadership positions, regardless of their sex or gender, should not be this dumb about professional conduct and yes, they CAN do things that get the person fired.

But let’s stop pretending she did it alone. How about we stop believing it’s always the woman’s fault? He’s not just unethical, he’s a coward.

You don’t have to keep “explaining” things to people who understand you perfectly well. They just disagree with you.

Nope. You’re trying to make it a “little woman” issue and it’s not. You’re being dishonest.

I believe Alito. That does not make me dishonest.

But it does make you delusional.

I’m pretty sure that the inability to deal with people who disagree with you is a symptom of a personality disorder.

You are not entitled to your own facts.

What in the world are you talking about? I am not making up any facts. Justice Alito says his wife put it up. You say he’s lying. My opinion is that I believe him. To suggest that his wife couldn’t have done that is to deny her agency. That’s a bit sexist, don’t you think?

You think he simply never saw the front of his house in the time it was up?! Who cares who put it up - this gdforsaken flag was up at a Sup Ct justice's house. That's INSANE.

Mrs. Alito is not a Supreme Court justice. Maybe he respects her and doesn’t try to control her the way you would like?

“As numerous legal ethics experts told the New York Times, like other federal judges, Supreme Court justices should avoid any appearance of partisanship or bias that would lead to Americans questioning their judgment.”

Too bad John Roberts is like an ineffective principal being run by his juvenile delinquents.
