 Why, why, why are Alito and Thomas allowed to remain on the Supreme Court!?

They are law abiding Americans.
Hate it all you want. Lol.[/quote]
They’re not abiding this law, though: 
28 USC 455: Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.[/quote]
Mrs. Alito may legally do as she wishes. Suck it.[/quote]

Like Caesar's wife, the behavior of spouses of high government officials should be above reproach. Below is a simple explanation of what this means and should not overload your two functioning brain cells.

'What does judges like Caesar's wife should be above suspicion mean?

To put it briefly, the phrase means that those holding important public positions should avoid even the appearance of wrongdoing. Their behaviour must always be “above suspicion”, since any misconduct, or rumours of misconduct, by them besmirches the 
high office they hold.Dec 18, 2022"

Except don't we now know that Alito's story about his wife flying the "distress" flag for a few days in response to a rude neighbor was all made up?

The "pine tree" flag - a symbol of the Christian nationalist movement - flew over his beach house for WEEKS. It's even on the Google Maps picture. And he has 3 flagpoles outside his house, where the "Appeal to Heaven" flag occupied the tallest one. A Supreme Court Justice chose to fly it instead of the actual flag of the country he serves.

Which is more disrespectful to our flag - flying it upside down or not flying it all?

+1 The whole wife story is BS. That was obvious when he said kids waiting for the school buses, the ones which were not running in January 2021, could see their neighbors’ sign that insulted Trump.[/quote]

There are multiple flags involved at multiple locations.  You are right about BS.  There is no 'stop the steal' flag, just made up by NYT and liberals ran with it, like the OK sign.[/quote]

DP. The American flag, when flown upside down as Alito did, is associated with "stop the steal."

Here's what Fox News said: "The upside-down American flag is symbolic of Trump's "Stop the Steal" campaign as he circulated false claims the election was stolen when he lost to Joe Biden in 2020."

All the major news outlets are identifying the US flag flown upside down as the "stop the steal flag," not just the NYT. The NYT broke the story about Alito and the flags. Alito did not deny the story. Maybe you should stop getting your news from X or TikTok or whatever other low-information sources you use.

DP. The upside down flag is a sign of distress and its use hasn’t been limited to Jan 6. No matter how many times you say this, there is no stop the steal flag, and Alito isn’t going anywhere because his wife did this. [/quote]
I wonder if he physically beats his wife since he’s willing to throw her under the bus like this.

It’s a nice Schrödinger’s flag for traitors though. No one flew such a flag - either flag - at their house but if they did it wasn’t what you think it was and if it was it was his wife who flew it. [/quote]
