Ordinary private citizens aren’t held to judicial standards. There’s no requirement for construction workers or bus drivers or waitresses to be apolitical or to avoid the mere appearance of impropriety.[/quote]

Isn't Alito's wife one of those private citizens? [/quote]
Because she’s married to a Supreme Court justice, her house is also his house. Her income is also his income and must be reported. She’s not quite a private citizen, but not entirely bound by judicial standards. Fair or not, her activities can cast the appearance of impropriety on him.[/quote]

You're nutz. She can do as she damn well pleases.  She is a PRIVATE CITIZEN.

There is no nuance, regardless of how you would like to project your tyrannical wishes.

This is cut and dry.  Got it?  CUT AND DRY.[/quote]
When she made a political statement at her residence, she was also making a political statement at a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE’S RESIDENCE. She did this at Justice Alito’s house. She had HIM living under that flag. The flags flown at HIS home reflect on HIM. She’s free to do whatever she wants, and OTHER PEOPLE ARE FREE TO CRITICIZE THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY ON JUSTICE ALITO’S PART.[/quote]

DP.  Just because you think it creates an appearance of impropriety on the part of Justice Alito, doesn't mean that he must recuse himself.  This is why there are objective rules in place to avoid subjective judgments.  First, you're assuming her actions can and should be imputed to him.  Strike one.  Second, you're assuming she made a political statement.  Strike two.  Three, you're assuming that her political statement was supporting an "insurrection" or other inappropriate activity.  You're out.

Also, let us know if you're willing to apply your "rules" to Democratic politicians, appointees, and judges.  Please tell us what those rules are and what the objective criteria are for following them.[/quote]

You are so ignorant, you don’t know how ignorant you are.

Yes, all feds have a ton of rules and expectations of professional conduct that mechanics, entrepreneurs, and construction workers don’t have to think about.

You don’t understand government and assume every fed is political when it’s actually quite the opposite. Being APOLITICAL (look it up) is an important part of A LOT of fed jobs.
