| Wow, so “only in rare settings” doesn’t apply to the unprecedented misuse of the US flag at the house of a US Supreme Court justice. |
|
This sets precedent for entirely de-legitimizing SCOTUS. They're now publicly for hire given they individually police themselves. |

Not spineless. He’s complicit. Part of the problem |

This is so absurd. So if one of them had a child presenting a case at the court, they could just choose not to recuse themself? This is a standard that basically says there is no such thing as conflict of interest. I wish they would extend this to all judges, all federal contractors etc. After all, all men are created equal before the law. If deciding for yourself is good enough for the supreme court, it should be for the rest of us as well. |

“I am with you so far, Justice Alito. I applaud your recognition of a woman’s right to oversee her own flags on her own property without the influence or governance of a man.
“My wife’s reasons for flying the flag are not relevant for present purposes,” he wrote. I’m glad you made this point, Justice Alito. Sometimes women have deeply personal reasons for needing to fly a flag, and those reasons are not our, nor the government’s, business. “My wife is a private citizen.” Absolutely! She is a private citizen! Here and now, I stand with Justice Samuel Alito in being horrified that lawmakers would presume to involve themselves in decisions that should be made between a woman and her flag-maker.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2024/05/29/samuel-alito-wife-flag-letter/ |
| Wonder if an interesting flag is flying at any of the residences this evening. |
| What are the odds that two SCOTUS justices would have batsht crazy, traitorous spouses? |
What is the odds that men of a certain age have become senile and can no longer correctly estimate what lies people will believe? What they can get away with? How others view them? |
