[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag," Alito told the Times in an emailed statement. "It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs."

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.

Sorry.  Doesn't work.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Keep on deflecting. [/quote]

I'm not the PP, but it's also not a deflection. Clearly you are not aware of the oath of office taken by federal electeds and appointees. I held the appropriate book for DH when he was sworn into his government post and took an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic...." Alito took the same oath! Flying a flag upside down is neither support nor defence of the United States. It's not. If his wife doesn't understand the provocation of her act, then that says a lot, a lot about their marriage and her sense of her husband's role.

And don't came back with his not encroaching on his wife and her beliefs. The beliefs go out the window when a spouse takes one of these posts. That's how it goes.[/quote]
