Oh, you mean after the GOP refused to hold hearings for the Dem candidates for the open seat prior to Owen nomination? That Priscilla (now Richman)?

Why? He clearly lied about the kids waiting at the bus stop in front of the offending sign.

And what was the beach house flag in response to? It’s so empty.

So it is becoming clear to me that Alito's wife was the leaker of the Dobbs decision.

“The Times somehow fails to let readers know that the flag is a longtime symbol of independence; that it was designed by George Washington’s secretary; was flown on ships commissioned by Washington; has been honored, commemorated and flown over state capitols; and is the official maritime flag of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is currently displayed outside the office of the speaker of the House. Dozens of historic flags were toted to the Capitol on Jan. 6, as were copies of the Constitution and pictures of the American eagle. Are they all now symbols of “insurrection”?” - wsj

Thank you for letting us all know that you support the insurrection, but that you still want a veneer of respectability. You don’t have any. Nether does this brain rotted traitor Alito.

Verbatim from The NY Times:

“ Since its creation during the American Revolution, the flag has carried a message of defiance: The phrase “appeal to heaven” comes from the 17th-century philosopher John Locke, who wrote of a responsibility to rebel, even use violence, to overthrow unjust rule. “It’s a paraphrase for trial by arms,” Anthony Grafton, a historian at Princeton University, said in an interview. “The main point is that there’s no appeal, there’s no one else you can ask for help or a judgment.”

And more from the Times article

Until about a decade ago, the Appeal to Heaven flag was mostly a historical relic. But since then it has been revived to represent “a theological vision of what the United States should be and how it should be governed,” said Matthew Taylor, a religion scholar at the Institute of Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies.

Dutch Sheets, has led a yearslong campaign to present the flag to political figures, including Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice-presidential pick, and an Indiana gubernatorial candidate whom Mr. Sheets wrapped in the flag at a recent rally. Republican members of Congress and state officials have displayed the flag as well, among them Doug Mastriano, a Pennsylvania state senator and a leader of the “Stop the Steal” campaign. The highest-ranking elected official known to show the flag is Representative Mike Johnson, who hung it at his office last fall shortly after becoming speaker of the House.

In 2013, Mr. Sheets, a prominent figure in a far-right evangelical movement that scholars have called the New Apostolic Reformation, discovered the nearly forgotten flag and made it the symbol of his ambitions to steep the country and the government in Christianity, he wrote in a 2015 book also titled “An Appeal to Heaven.”

“Rally to the flag,” he wrote. “God has resurrected it for such a time as this. Wave it outwardly: wear it inwardly. Appeal to heaven daily for a spiritual revolution that will knock out the Goliaths of our day.”

He placed the high court at the center of his mission. In 2015, the court’s ruling that states must allow same-sex marriage had galvanized the movement and helped it to grow. In a speech three years later, he said, “There’s no gate that has allowed more evil to enter our nation than that of the Supreme Court.”

Court reform now. Alito is clearly unfit to serve and I'd bet dollars to donuts he has been in touch with Sheets.

And the Confederate flag was *just* the battle flag of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.

Honestly, MAGA, you're embarrassing yourselves.

I love that the WSJ has held itself above the crazy fray… and they’re just as crazy.

What are you even talking about. It’s a revolutionary war flag commonly in use.

And people still fly the Gadsden no matter what the hysterical posters out of DC think.

That quote from the Times is absolutely laughable. Seriously? It’s sad how far the Times has sunk.
