It’s his private property.
Must be why he blamed it on his wife.
Just like Menendez. I guess blaming the wife is the one thing the right and left can agree on.
Why is it so hard to believe the wife turned the flag upside down?
Why is it so hard to believe that he knows this is a terrible look and he's throwing her under the bus?
This. I was married to a guy in a public role/job that came with a ton of rules and I was well aware that I needed to be mindful of them too. Optics matter. Professionalism matters.
So, not allowed to disagree publicly with your husband?
My husband was too professional to even express a political opinion. As it should be. He didn’t discuss politics with anyone. His own children didn’t even know where he stood politically until he retired. I shared my opinions with my friends but would never publicly take a position, no. I didn’t volunteer on campaigns until he retired. I can’t emphasize this enough but that is how it should be for roles that are non partisan and it’s sad that this seems to shock people.
That is your choice and it is not shocking at all. Mrs. Alito was allowed to make a different choice.
Do you have the same criticism for Judge Merchant donating to Biden?
The fact that you think we have choices is more evidence that you don’t understand anything we’re saying about rules, ethics, and professional conduct. Yes, it was her choice to create bad optics that make her husband look unethical and unprofessional. I mean, everyone can choose to violate rules, norms, and professional conduct, okay. That’s not a pass. But it was probably him and let’s face it, this is not the only evidence of his lack of integrity and ethics.
NYT and CNN raising this issue now is all about getting Alito to recuse for the upcoming J6 cases. I’m pointing out the stunning hypocrisy of people being OK with judge Merchan not recusing and the stunning hypocrisy of those who [/b]think the little woman should just keep her opinions to herself.
We can explain it to you but we can’t make you understand it. Spouses of people in non-partisan leadership positions, regardless of their sex or gender, should not be this dumb about professional conduct and yes, they CAN do things that get the person fired.
But let’s stop pretending she did it alone. How about we stop believing it’s always the woman’s fault? He’s not just unethical, he’s a coward.
You don’t have to keep “explaining” things to people who understand you perfectly well. They just disagree with you.
Nope. You’re trying to make it a “little woman” issue and it’s not. You’re being dishonest.
I believe Alito. That does not make me dishonest.
But it does make you delusional.
I’m pretty sure that the inability to deal with people who disagree with you is a symptom of a personality disorder.
You are not entitled to your own facts.
What in the world are you talking about? I am not making up any facts. Justice Alito says his wife put it up. You say he’s lying. My opinion is that I believe him. To suggest that his wife couldn’t have done that is to deny her agency. That’s a bit sexist, don’t you think?
Woosh. There is no way you’re missing the point this many times. You’re being willfully obtuse but I expect nothing less from someone who defends Alito. Enjoy the rest of your day trying to argue with people.
I know you think you’re making some kind of statement here, but you consistently refuse to answer the question about why we shouldn’t believe it was his wife and not Alito.

+1. No one here has explained why they don’t think a woman could have been making a political statement on her own, especially a woman that we know has strong political statements.

You’re equating a campaign donation with an insurrectionist flag? How are you okay with what you wrote?
There is no insurrection flag. It was the US flag flown upside down.
Which is a symbol of insurrectionists.
It’s also been used by Vietnam war protesters, progressives fighting the overturn of Roe vs Wade, BLM supporters. It’s a symbol of distress or rebellion against the government. Either way, it’s not some separate flag and words matter.

Do you have the same criticism for Judge Merchant donating to Biden?
The fact that you think we have choices is more evidence that you don’t understand anything we’re saying about rules, ethics, and professional conduct. Yes, it was her choice to create bad optics that make her husband look unethical and unprofessional. I mean, everyone can choose to violate rules, norms, and professional conduct, okay. That’s not a pass. But it was probably him and let’s face it, this is not the only evidence of his lack of integrity and ethics.
NYT and CNN raising this issue now is all about getting Alito to recuse for the upcoming J6 cases. I’m pointing out the stunning hypocrisy of people being OK with judge Merchan not recusing and the stunning hypocrisy of those who [/b]think the little woman should just keep her opinions to herself.
We can explain it to you but we can’t make you understand it. Spouses of people in non-partisan leadership positions, regardless of their sex or gender, should not be this dumb about professional conduct and yes, they CAN do things that get the person fired.
But let’s stop pretending she did it alone. How about we stop believing it’s always the woman’s fault? He’s not just unethical, he’s a coward.
You don’t have to keep “explaining” things to people who understand you perfectly well. They just disagree with you.
Nope. You’re trying to make it a “little woman” issue and it’s not. You’re being dishonest.
I believe Alito. That does not make me dishonest.
But it does make you delusional.
