This is ridiculous! Does Chief Justice Roberts honestly think if he continues to ignore this it will just go away? The country is losing all faith and trust in this court. What happens then?
This flag issue is a footnote but it shows that there is an Authoritarian movement and it reaches the highest levels of power in the US. We already knew that though
Alito has repeatedly shown he is unfit to serve on SCOTUS. However he is there. He should recuse rom cases that ahow a conflict of interest . He has flipped off the law in the USA and he is anything but supreme.
Since Americans pledge allegiance to our Flag it is a sacred object. Flying it upside-down is ALWAYS a sign of extreme disloyalty NOT any right to freedom of expression.
I try not to be dismissive, but is the core of the story here that supreme court justices have biases and political views? I actually like to know people's biases, especially if they are making judgements. My suggestion is we should stop pretending that the supreme court hasn't always been a political institution full of people with biases and agendas and act like grown-ups and deal with the situation. I think pretending like people can somehow be these neutral actors acting on principle is idealistic naive thinking. If we accepted the fact that these guys are political actors then we could regulate them like other political actors. I think we should be rotating out justices just like any other politician. Probably with a longer term, but these lifetime appointments with basically unquestionable power comes from the facade that they are not politically motivated and have some special ability to make principled judgements.
In a normal country, Joe Biden would be impeached for his corruption, letting an American citizen be tortured to death by Ukraine, blowing up cars full of children, persecuting his political opponent.
You are absolutely INCORRECT. You better hope, IF YOU ARE ACTUALLY HERE LEGALLY, that OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS HOLD UP IN OUR COURTS, period. If they don't work for the JUSTICES or PRESIDENTS, YOU STAND NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU, democrat... And they absolutely plan on COMING FOR YOU and ME and EVERY AMERICAN THAT BELIEVES IN OUR CONSTITUTION. Wakey, wakey...
1). SCOTUS justices are appointed for life. 2). What exactly is a "normal country"? Maybe one that doesn't have freedom of speech/expression? 3). Impeached for what? Did he commit an actual crimez? No, he didn't . So kindly STFU!
It IS unacceptable that this is even making the "news", or that anyone that BELIEVES IN OUR 1st AMENDMENT RIGHTS, would be asked to RECUSE themselves because they LOVE THEIR COUNTRY. All those that wish OUR CONSTITUTION SHREDDED, should be DEPORTED to North Korea. Then YOU TOO can see what it is like to live under COMMUNISM....
This is a free speech issue. It might be objectionable and gross, but I believe this is free speech. I worry a lot more about the gifts that certain members have received without issue.
The only concerns i see is the fact he might have supported the jan 6 efforts. The justices have always been bias. We just forget they're called values and beliefs. I do hope they do their best to be neutral stance but with how things are its best we get a split justices for one side and split justice on the other.

No the upside down flag is a sign of distress you could have just asked a multitude of people who are patriotic Americans why they would fly a flag upside down instead of protecting what you would like to believe about them. They said it at the beginning of the show ffs

ALITO MUST RESIGN. WE ARE NOT FOOLED. HE IS THE "MAN" OF THE HOUSE. ALITO MUST GO. TODAY!
Is he? that a judgement call.

He is bought and paid for, in addition to explicitly supporting an insurrection. He SHOULD have been impeached and removed long ago.
He is UPHOLDING OUR CONSTITUTION. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT, TRAITOR???
The court will do absolutely nothing. It is not in their benefactors interest.

I like the part where she describes how the flag went viral before "The Insurrection" even occurred.
Hmm...hmm....Right...hmm..hmm..uh-huh....got it...hmm...hmm..got it...

If Justice Alito asserts the political displays are his wife' s, not his, then why is it an issue?
@ytqclys,
Since Americans pledge allegiance to our Flag it is a sacred object. Flying it upside-down is ALWAYS a sign of extreme disloyalty NOT any right to freedom of expression.
@@j.d.schultzsr.9215 Case law has established that customs or laws regarding the handling of the US flag do not trump First Amendment rights.
@@ytqclys ,
You are correct. Mr & Mrs Alito are both free to display their profound disloyaly.
Oh yeah- I’m not the insurrectionist just my wife 😂
This. is a shit stirring emotional distortion.
Is new york part of Israel now?
I’am just wondering if Chief Justice Robert is going for the Okey Dokey???
I think there was a noose as well.😊
Deplorable.
What does it mean ???

Flying Old Glory upside-down and "patriotism" are mutually exclusive.
@j.d.schultzsr.9215 many would disagree but hey who am I disagree if you appoint yourself the hallowed gatekeeper of who and what acts are patriotic.
