Standard male behavior: "when no escape, blame the woman".
What a DISGRACE...THE SUPREME COURT.
That sounds like a normal Justice excuse, just blame the wife
Alito blaming the Wife coward ! hide behind the wife ? he's used to it he hides his vote for Trump and it's obvious he believes the election was stolen from Trump, dude you need to step down now !!
These SCOTUS judges are about as "open-minded, neutral jurists" as the Ayatollah is open minded about religious matters.
Not all of them.
👏🤣
Yep, just professional envy of religious theocrats , is what it is.😑💙🇺🇸
@@RobinaB530 2/3rds of them.
It’s sad for America to see a Supreme Court Justice turn his back on the American Justice System.
Give it a week I wouldn't believe anything from the MSM esp them first trying with Justice Thomas. Dems are desperate now they'll do anythng.
Yeah, you’d think we’d have a law against it or something!?
wait because? you caught Brain Aids during Covid? im confused
You mean the like the dem trio bot?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂..
Another day. Another crazy. Actually, it's hard to keep track of all the insanity.
That's not to be used for a political ploy. It's a serious call for help while under attack by any enemy group. Your fellow Americans are not the enemy. The enemy are those trying to overthrow the government.
Good thing it wasn’t a ploy.
Our gov hijacked the election.
This country was founded on overthrowing the governing structure.
He throws his wife under the bus. What a scumbag
Unsurprising
Lol he took a page out of the democrat's playbook. Now you crying.
That's what GOP 'men'? do.
@@mostlysunny582 Really? Please give us one example that comes even remotely close.
Women, even spouse of SCOTUS"s spouses have a right to express their political views. Do you want to go back the days where husbands control their wives political views? Men gave up a lot when they dropped their club and let loose of their hair as they dug them home. And you want to go back. It sounds like liberal hypocrisy. I though you wanted equal rights?
Mr. Alito your supposed to be even, fare, justice ⚖️, if you pull crap like this what good are you?
Oh please! There are 3 extreme leftist justices on the SC and one of them can not define what is a woman. They are liberal 3 stooges. What is fair about that?
What a disgusting "Judge"...
Oh please.....🙄
What a disgrace. He should resign immediately.
Why because he hurt your feelings 😭😭 Boohoooo
The dirt lies deep. Wheres Ginny Thomas been hiding?
GET RID OF ALITO !!!!
The upside down flag means the country is in distress I don't know about you but I have flown my flag upside down several times because we are in distress we are being invaded. Are morals are being destroyed. Criminals run the country anything else
get rid of bots.
Get rid of Katanji, Sotomayor, and Kagan. The sooner the better!
@@acornsucks2111so what Alito and his wife did is ok?
@@DaisyMaeMosesso if Biden did what Trump did on Jan 6th, you would be ok with that? 😂😂😂
A disgrace to the high court, he should be removed immediately he is a traitor!
Absolutely totally agree this is just disgusting,hypocrisy,disgraceful and pathetic 💯💯💯💯
I agree Biden is a traitor 😊
He’s not the only one who knows Biden was installed.
You lefties are in no position to talk about integrity of the courts considering how the democrats have weaponized the NY legal system to go after trump. Lmao what a joke.
@@jenntip
Many of us know democRats cheated
This whole affair makes me so upset; how in the world can a Supreme Justice Of The USA be working to destroy our democracy? I wonder how far up the ROT reaches?
Level of corruption and incompetence is astounding
You described democrats perfectly
Corruption and incompetence shall now be referred to as GREATNESS ! ! ! 😑👎
Good grief, Alito and Thomas gotta go! 💙🇺🇲💙
Did you forget about life-time appointments?
Those are the best two bot.
@@acornsucks2111 you do know what a bot is?
No. They are the best. You losers.
@@brucemcglasson Katanji, Sotomayor and Kagan - incompetent DEI placements.
There is NO REASON this SCOTUS MEMBER SHOULD STILL BE ON THE BENCH !!!!
Jim Crowe Joe isn’t fit to stand trial but yet he’s still in office. We’ll he’s kinda it’s really Muslim Obama. FJB!
Look at his face showing much scorn! This man surely has an "axe to grind."
This country has become a complete joke.
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE Blue! Let us not give Trump another opportunity to appoint more MAGA Federal and Supreme Court judges.
No thanks. I like closed borders, low inflation,no wars and $2 gas
He is scared about Free Speech but that is only for himself and his rich friends.
Mr money is speech 🤘🔥😑
He needs to step down but that would require someone with a clear mind, a conscience and a sense of duty to all Americans. This flag business is a disgrace and shows how fast and loose he is both with his judicial responsibilities and his respect for the American people.
Who made him Pope?
This is not going to end well. This country is done
What a disgraceful person. They are counted to not be swayed for any reason. They should step down or be removed.
Removed how? Swayed by nothing? What are your exceptions and for whom?
@@stevenkuykendall1079 they should be above party. I know that’s hard to think of, but they should be. They should be loyal to the constitution not a person.
Yup its the blame the wife year
How are you blaming your wife when she said it herself 😂😂😂
Not only corrupt, a disgrace to America.
If it was a democratic it would be no big deal. Right CBS.😊
"Shall not be infringed" sounds like it will still be part of the law.
How do you say you are racist with out saying you are racist? Thank you answering that question!
The senator from NJ, a Democrat, is being indicted. Corruption isn't a partisan issue, though based on current evidence, seems to be mostly a GOP problem.
@@carmellasimpson4514Tell us how race has anything to do with it?
What is the meaning of hanging it upside down? The country is in extreme distress. The action was not done during or regarding one of the courts cases. He is ALSO a U.S. citizen and has a right to free expression.
As a vet . He is a traitor plain and simple!
Why do they always blame their wives?
Cause they’re punks.
Is comical that the libs go after a man who allows his wife to express her views and then see the libs criticize him for not asserting the patriarchal view.! They must believe in the patriarchy completely. Return to the patriarchy they shout!
That is not what it means. It means our country is under attack.
THESE TRADERS MUST GO.
It's a free market economy or you need an education. Traitor!
What does Alitos action have to do with Free Market@@jeroldeddins1209
All these justices should be fired.
The entire republican party needs to recuse at this point. And they are just gearing up!😢
Keep crying
😂
@@robertallred4515 Perhaps you should do a little research on Hitler's rise to power to realize the parallels between then and now.
Not a joke.🤣🤣🤣
Mean, petty, exceedingly biased behavior. Recuse and remove.
ok, so any Justice that is pro-choice should recuse themselves from any case that has to do with abortion laws. I mean the same premise should apply.
Uh....wouldn't that apply both ways? Do you hear yourself?
So an upside down US flag gets you in trouble, but a Hamas flag is okay.
How many supreme Court justices flew a Palestinian flag?
Bad comparison. Go down to your local community college. Take a logics class. Come back later.
Atleast it's not an upside down rainbow flag, I was worried there for a moment.
😉😄🙂🙃
The Supreme Court needs to be expanded to at least 13 justices... 15 would be better! We are operating under the same number of SCOTUS Justices as we had in 1870 when the US population was 38,925,598. Today, our population is 336,122,600... 8.6 times higher.
WE ARE OPERATING IN 19th CENTURY ERA!
SCOTUS needs to be expanded.
And, don't even try to talk to me about stacking, considering the stacking that the MAGA GOP has done to SCOTUS!!
The US House needs to be expanded too. Members of the U.S. House of Representatives each represent a portion of their state known as a Congressional District, which averages 700,000 people. We should double the number of reps so each rep only represents 350,009 Americans and the district maps need to be drawn by non-partisan committees and not political parties.
@@johnswofYeah that's what we need more useless grifters.
⚖️ PACK THAT COURT ⚖️
Shining example of trash seating on the court.
No surprise this court would throw their wives under the bus...😅
He should be removed immediately. Right now!
He should have been fired yesterday and Thomas also ijs😎
Resign traitor
Ridiculous 🇺🇲
Find the tallest tree
For what?
Now you're talking ! ! ! 🤠 YEEHA ! 🇺🇸
He needs to be removed asap. He has disgraced our country and our democracy that’s hanging by a thread. Can we not see objectively what he feels and thinks. There is no way he can objectively serve in his capacity any longer. When is enough enough?
His yard, his flag period.
Vote BLUE.
I am a wife~ Been flying my American flag upside down for four years come November 24~ My husband has asked me many times to flip it around~ My response; Get your own flag~ Just because married does not mean we need to agree on all things~ We simply agree to disagree~
We assumed only our best people would be selected to serve on our Supreme Court. What we have are two grifters, Thomas and Alito who are among our worst.
The people should protest day and night at the Supreme court in Washington until Alito and Thomas resign and sign the resignation live at the court house and have the Marines escort these losers out of the Court.
Oh, no! Your precious little rag was upside down! The horror! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Actually, the upside-down U.S. flag has legitimate historical roots. Mariners have traditionally flown the U.S. flag upside down to signal that their vessel is in dire straits. And some Confederate forces flew the U.S. flag upside down as a symbol of their rebellion during the Civil War. And anti-war activists frequently displayed the American flag upside down as a symbol of opposition to the Vietnam War. Even Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. were known to speak out against racial discrimination while displaying an inverted U.S. flag.
But most recently, and disturbingly, flying the flag upside down was co-opted as a symbol of the "Stop the Steal" movement created by Republican political operative Roger Stone in 2016 to promote the illegitimate conspiracy theory. Thus, when The New York Times published a May 26, 2024 article with a photo taken in January 2021 of an upside-down U.S. flag flown at the Alito residence in Alexandria, Virginia, legal ethics experts viewed this as a clear violation of ethics rules.
So decades of historical precedence gets destroyed because some rioters did it...ok.
All SC justices should be subjected to the same laws/rules that the other Federal judges are bound by. Is there a way, the congress can enact a bill to make the SC adhere to this ? Of course, such a bill can be passed only after Dems win both Senate & House in the coming Elections.
Recusal. Period.
Removal, not recusal!!
It means a country in distress! He’s not wrong!
Supreme Court justice says his wife, Martha-Ann Alito, flew the flag as a symbol of protest after a dispute over political yard signs turned personal. WASHINTON POST
When you’re guilty and you know it …blame your wife🎼…
When you’re guilty and you know it …blame your wife…🎼
When you’re guilty and you know it, and there’s no one else to blame it🎼
When you’re guilty and you know it …blame your wife🎼
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't see what ALL of the uproar is about. After All, He and His Family are just expecting their First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech.
ALL of these " Peaceful Palestinian Protestors" are blocking traffic on freeways and disrupting campus activities like graduations and I don't that many people complaining about them.
I noted that mrs. ALITOSIS have a very long nose. She need to stop lying.
Not with the flag. For the last 9 years we have seen people fired and called out for not respecting our flag . Flying a flag upside down because your neighbors have another political belief then Grow the F up. Alito and Thomas aren’t justices they are judges who have been bought. They have proven they hate the average American and really want to control women.
Impeach him along with Thomas. They are criminally unworthy to be on the Court.
RESIGN
Here comes rhe Democrat hypocrisy again 😂😂
Face it Thomas and Alito are for sale. Luxury vacations, free $250k moter home, college tuition and a rent free home for their mom. That's all it takes to get the decision you want from them. They are above the law.
Ok bot
@@robertallred4515 Really? Is there anything I said that was not ture? Maybe your the bot!!
@@michaelspring3915 Everything you said was a lie as usual. Tell me someone who got a decision they wanted from them and bought that decision. I can't wait for you to make a fool of yourself with Liberals talking points
You really don't have any better to do with your time then whine about how someone flies their flag?
What does an upside down flag mean?
Get it sent to your inbox. It has been a widely recognized symbol of distress since the nation's founding, when sailors turned the American flag upside down to signal that their ships were sinking, on fire or trapped in ice.2 hours ago
That was hard 🙄 and just be glad it's an american flag that's upside down...not that it would matter since it's on his property and he can do with it as he pleases, don't like it, don't look at it or keep going and go fly your flag at your house.
You obviously scored dead last in your class!!
@@theresaengel9444 ?
I am NOT a US Supreme Justice, my friend!
Seems like Mrs. Alito wears the pants in the family. Does Sammy wear pantyhose under that black robe?
that is B S
Unamerican 😤what a shame how must we trust this Supreme Court 😱😭your wife walks over you what a shame 😳
Collin Kaepernick takes a knee, and they say he disrespected the flag?
OMG! How can anyone who disrespects our flag like that be on the Supreme Court? He needs to resign, before he is impeached. So disgraceful. Who does he think he is that he can get away with that?
A snowball has a better chance in hell than Jack Smith has to begin the Jan 6 trial before the November election.
Freedom of Speech!!
Balance the court now.
Nope.
Recuse hell, him & bro Thomas BOTH need to resign! I don't care if his wife flew it or not. OMG does it ever f'ing end!?! VOTE BLUE
this is called free speech.
It is comical that these left wingers who claim to be for women's rights don't want the SCOTUS's wife to support the issues she believes in. Put the women back under the thumb of the male is the drum-beat from the left!
No,it's not.... he is us Supreme Court Judge. He must be above partisan politics.
Recuse? He should Resign!
He should be impeached (and fired).
So much for a ‘fair and impartial’ judiciary!
BS, Alito is full of it. He lives in the same house as his wife and he admits seeing it if he said his wife did it, where is his loyalty to the law and us the citizens paying his salary. He has to be held accountable. Neither Justice Alito or Justice Thomas should be sitting on any case related to the 2020 elections or trump
"Faces scrutiny" -- not by anyone who matters.
Stand your ground Alito! Don’t let these democRats bully you!
Trump2024🇺🇸
FJB!
Communist Alito .
You have it backwards . Fascist Alito leader of the Reich's court.
The media is so predictable, always going after conservative justices.
Show Alito distress.
Not even close to being an important issue...for those that think this somehow should disqualify him then something equally insignificant can and will be found to remove a liberal-appointed justice. I am sure you would all support that as well? For example, Justice Sonia Sotomayor didn’t recuse herself from multiple cases involving a book publisher - Penguin Random House - which paid her more than $3 million since 2010, so she should be gone as well, correct?
Off that case? Yes.
Great American.🇺🇲
Black men for Trump 2024🎉🎉🎉 0% liberal
😂😂 cult
So what.
SURE! Like the NYC Judge and Daughter raking in millions on the BS Trump case.
No maggat. Not like that.
@jdocean1 ☺️💙
Leave him alone!! This country is in distress, thanks to the crooked democrats!!
Da Comrad, Amerika has fallen, Make Trump absolute ruler !
A justice must stay neutral.
That's not it.
How foolish..
How many trip did the Democrats take on tax payer .
None. Next question. Edit: you didn’t even use a question mark Russian.
Liar
I agree. Alito is a bald-faced liar!
An upside down flag is not a symbol of stop the steel it's a symbol of our country being in distress and if you don't know what that means maybe you shouldn't be reporting on it
Charlotte, this is a long way of saying you haven’t read the article.
@@alifleihyou are being fed information how about look up flag etiquette then get back to the article
Well, we could say one thing he's not stealing money.Look at his house...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If they replace the gold fringed flag and used a jolly roger , would you even notice. ? No. A gold fringed flag is the American equivalent of a pirate 🦜. Law? USC 1 at "flags" .
Boo hoo did he hurt you feelings?
