This.

Alito is a partisan hack with zero integrity.

+1 This. All those who cancelled those who kneeled to protest brutality going blind, deaf and dumb when a Supreme Court Justice hangs up an upside down flag to glorify insurrection in his back yard.

It’s his private property.

Where are you posting from that you have this little knowledge about the volume of rules, ethics, and professional behavior that federal employees have to follow?

It's distasteful to fly a flag upside down, but would not be a Hatch Act violation.

Why are you so fixated on the Hatch Act? Red herring much?

The Hatch Act doesn't apply to federal judges. Just stop with it.

The flag is supposed to be flown upside down only in case of an emergency.

This incident occurred at the home of a SCOTUS justice. Distasteful doesn't even begin to describe what is wrong, unethical, and professionally negligent/malpractice here.

Winning post. Succinct and correct.

And we’re supposed to trust this man to be a good jurist? And he’s either in a neighborhood squabble in which he, one of the nine people with more power than anyone else in the entire country, can’t be the bigger person or he’s an insurrectionist.

What’s an especially ugly look is that no one in the GOP cares enough to even say anything. When Republicans get testy that we say they’re all insurrectionists, this is a good example of why we say that. And why that’s true.

And what's with the selective policing of flag display? When college students breach etiquette, then all hell breaks loose, but painting a blue line through a flag or a SCOTUS justice hanging it upside down at their home in a tit for tat with a neighbor mere DAYS after the storming of the Capitol and the GOP hits the snooze button on their outrage clock.

If he were a female country singer, she’d be spending hundreds of thousands on personal security with all the GOP terrorists threatening her and stalking her, and yes her career trajectory would take a total dive.

But Sam Alito? He could burn a cross on his lawn and the idiots in the GOP would think he was just honoring God.

So sad but true.

Yes a man who is supposed to be impeccable in his personal life but him flying a flag upside down is fine somehow.

And not displaying the flag properly is a big, big deal. I'm a big lib and I wouldn't do this unless I ended up like Tom Hanks, stranded on an island. I paid attention when I learned these rules as a kid. Can't imagine that the Alito family didn't learn same.

I want to know who this woman was who had the cojones for this. I wonder what I would do if I lived next to Alito?

Alito by fly a flag upside down after the storming of the Capitol has shown he is an active member of the rebellion. Wonder how he will “rule” on the cases of the Jan 6’ers

+1 Applause for Alito’s neighbors who gave interviews and took the pictures. But why did this story just come out now?

The only non offensive way is as a sign of emergency. The emergency was that there was a traitor and insurrectionist in the White House. If that’s why he was flying it, I’ll agree it was a professionally bad decision but correct use of the upside down flag. Doing in it support of the traitor is where I draw the line.

The republicans are spineless traitors to the United States.

I think we all know. Anti democracy protestors support other anti democracy protestors.

More flag shenanigans at his beach house in New Jersey:

He flew the Appeal to Heaven for almost the entirety of summer 2023. This flag was also prominently displayed on January 6.
