Double standards for democrats who believe the law doesn’t apply to them. That’s what part of the CR bill was for. Any crime they commit they get a free pass
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression are solely reserved for one political party and one segment of the population ONLY! Others in America, especially Republicans and Christian conservatives do not have those rights!
The Appeal to Heaven flag was designed by Colonel Joseph Reed, who served as the personal secretary to George Washington. Originally commissioned for use on six military cruiser ships, the flag was adopted on October 21, 1775. It became the official Massachusetts navy flag in 1776. Washington's secretary chose a simple yet impactful design featuring a singular pine tree, a symbol of strength and resiliency within the New England states. The words “An Appeal to Heaven" stretch atop a white field, boldly proclaiming an appeal to God to save the colonists from the King's oppressive ruling.

How can that judge Michael Ponsor continue to be a judge with such a partisan behavior? The only thing he had to do is apologize and no penalty or punishment happens to him. Even a kid can apologize and still continue the bad behavior knowing there is no real consequences.

So, a judge is calling out the ethics of another judge by ignoring the ethics he was under. A clown and hypocrite. He should be removed because it is now obvious he doesn’t feel obliged to remain in bounds of established law.
We citizens are held to a standard, We Americans must hold these politicians and judges and civil servants accountable for their actions. I had a standard and conduct that required me to act in the interest of my country and the American People. Why do these people get away with not holding this standard and living up to the oath they swore?
I don't associate any flag with Trump except the one that says Trump on it. It's nobody's business except Alito what flag he flies. That said, flying the US flag upside down is a distress signal and should not be subverted by politics. It was certainly a poor choice by Alito.
I think Ponzer’s apology was sufficient for what he did. He showed 1000000x more integrity than NYTimes, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, the woke activists parading around as prosecutors that don’t prosecute, school boards allowing porn and left ideology into impressionable children’s curriculum. These people are the ones who need to apologize. But they won’t, they have some lame moral hustle that people bought to justify themselves. He had a strong opinion, expressed it poorly and apologized reasonably for doing so.
here is another point Congress can shut up about creating ethics code for Supreme Court, separate but equal and of course considering how many members of Congress have got there own ethics issues this is hypocrisy (or just another day of elected servants forgetting their role)
Ok imma be real here as much as I love Alito and all that jazz is that judge not an American citizen can he not criticize his government this is allot of what’s wrong with our country cancel culture over words is ruining this country
I my opinion his wife's decision is also he's responsible to stop her from doing it he should have explained his position, as the man of the house, yes she has a opinion but he has rules to follow, and to make matters even worse she is correct the judicial system is broken. And our government has to much power, they've already side stepped our constitution.
Sorry but flying the American flag is not illegal. In fact it is a protected right. One would think a judge would know this even if they are anti-American.
Being a justice in our highest court of law and unable to criticize your own equally influential coworkers is just…. Damn. I don’t think we even have the right to call ourselves free after this.
SCOTUS is on a higher level. There is nothing equal to SCOTUS. To be honest we weren’t free during the plandemic and the establishment is trying to bring it back. That’s why the first bill failed.
The American Flag is bound by exact rules for flying, displaying & honoring The Flag! You almost got there reporter. Upside down is a sign of surrender. Thus, It shall never be flown upside down! Wake Up America 🇺🇸 Salute 🫡
@lambertlum1087 yea, internationally the French flag is regarded as surrender. Lol. That fool just doesn't understand US law. That being said, all US government employees need to be nonpartisan. Its unimaginable to me that a person that's not elected gets to just do what they want. Like, get gifted a free rv.
Because I am a strong conservative ,criticizing ANY public SERVANT and even USSC justices are public SERVANTS, is protected speech as there is NO such exception for USSC judges in the 1st Amendment and there are NO exceptions in any subsequent Amendments which are the ONLY legal way to alter our Bill of Rights. Anything, other than an Amendment, which alters our Bill of Rights is by definition, UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Alito is 100% wrong on this issue.
Not by a fellow sitting jurist. By definition this is a political act insodoing and is inflaming a lack of collegiality and *RESPECT* that is *ESSENTIAL* for the smooth and orderly functioning of our *FEDERAL* Judiciary. We have higher standards for said level of polity and this is reflected in their *PAY AND BENEFITS* I might add.

Thanks to those who surrender our rights to our public servants, we now have a 2nd Amendment which varies state to state and even though it is perfectly clear it is not to be INFRINGED, it is INFRINGED upon on a daily basis. Such is the dishonest of the legal profession. The ONLY legal way to alter the Constitution or Bill of Rights is via the Amendment process. But again thanks to those who surrender our rights, unconstitutionally, the right to FREE SPEECH now is subject to interpretation by America's most dishonest and despicable professionals, lawyers, lawyer/politicians, lawyer/judges. If the USSC was filled with people of character and honesty, loyal to the oath they took, we would not have people on the bench who could not define a woman. We would not have discussions about men in woman's sports. We would have prisons filled with government officials, elected, appointed, hired who dared to obstruct OUR government from performing one of it's few Constitutionally MANDATED functions: "Protecting our Borders".

Justice Alito should rein in his wife, but Judge Ponzer should rein in his mouth and observe the ethics code.
This is a good point. It’s best to stay away from controversy, even if you’re not wrong.
REMOVE THAT JUDGE IMMEDIATLY
So NOW they want to enforce the code!
But They can paint the White House with rainbow flag lights…..

The American flag flying up side down means the country is in trouble,an American tribute,love it or leave it!
He knew it was a violation but decided his increased woke street cred for being published in The New York Slimes was worth the risk.
Ironic that the federal judge accused SCJ Alito of being stupid.
hey here's a question how much longer do you think they can keep the secret banking system a secret from the whole nation ?

Alito's wife flew the flags.
He just avoided marital strife by not stopping her.
God bless SAN and the work they do protecting Americans justice!
Since when are judges ethical?
A judge is just a lawyer who could not find clients.
Alito is a corrupt judge who should Not be sitting on the Supreme Court
WHAT you gonna do to me when I call him The FACIST that he is !! Come on :Judge" !!

Apologizing to whom? Shouldn’t the “apology” be specific? If not, is it really one?
And nothing will come of it. Privllledged.

judge foolishly violates ethics, criticizes judge for foolishly not violating ethics
So, you don't have freedom of speech,to criticize the government.... Isn't that the 1st amendment?
You know it's called freedom and that is Alito prerogative.
Alito is a judicial politician who will not judge impartially but in accordance with his far right-wing politics.
We citizens are held to a standard, We Americans must hold these politicians and judges and civil servants accountable for their actions. I had a standard and conduct that required me to act in the interest of my country and the American People.

Charging a judge with ethics violation by a Judge who refuses an ethics code be imposed on him.
The flag was flown during the revolutionary war, what is his problem.
