It's all over the news.
Of course, on FOX, it is harder to find and when you do they report on the excuse.
I actually find the excuse believable, but still, Alito knew about it and about the symbolism. But then he is a right nutjob.

Damn right [Alito] should [recuse] and so should Thomas. But, of course, they won't.
Of course, they should also resign. But they'd be particularly disinclined to do that now since then Biden would get to pick liberal justices to replace them. Plus, they'd sail through the confirmation in the Senate since McConnel isn't there to eff things up.
But I have to wonder where the hell Roberts is in this. Does he talk to his fellow justices AT ALL about ethics?

He's just an enabler.

Will any of this matter to the corrupt right wing side of the Supreme Court? No.
Judicial experts said in interviews that the flag was a clear violation of ethics rules, which seek to avoid even the appearance of bias, and could sow doubt about Justice Alito’s impartiality in cases related to the election and the Capitol riot.
The mere impression of political opinion can be a problem, the ethics experts said. “It might be his spouse or someone else living in his home, but he shouldn’t have it in his yard as his message to the world,” said Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia.
This is “the equivalent of putting a ‘Stop the Steal’ sign in your yard, which is a problem if you’re deciding election-related cases,” she said.https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/justice-alit...

Alito says wife displayed upside-down flag after argument with insulting neighbor
Alito tells Fox News neighbor put up sign that read ‘F--- Trump,’ insulted his wife
Trump pop-up stands on busy boulevards all over the country proudly flew "F*ck Biden" flags, and sold 'F*ck Biden" clothing and schwag.... made in Chiainah.
Poor Mr and Mrs Alito must have been just so distraught by the incivility of it all.

Well, it's certainly a head-scratcher.
How is Mrs. Alito's explicitly blatant pro-Trump gesture retaliatory against her neighbor rather than simply a partisan Alito household endorsement of the attempted insurrection and the Big Lie?

You people have zero problem with a partisan judge whose daughter is a democrat operative trying Trump. Plus all the collusion going on there.
There's chair *points to a char*. Sit down.

It's an "eye for an eye", except with insults. As in you insulted Trump so I'm going to insult Biden. But it Certiainly confirms that Mrs. Alito is in camp Trump, as well as camp Insurrection.

I remember how upset you were when China fast-tracked 18 patents in 2 months for Ivanka Trump right after her father was elected, not to mention Jared Kushner receiving a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia.
Please spare us your crocodile tears.

a judge whose daughter is a democrat operative is not a democrat operative.
A judge and the woman he sleeps with .... he sleeps with.

"You people have zero problem with a partisan judge whose daughter is a democrat operative trying Trump."
So what that his daughter does work for the Democratic party?
Working is not a crime. There are judges all over the country (Republican and Democrat) who have had family members do political work. Heck, judges themselves have previously done political work when they were lawyers. Even Supreme Court justices have done work under various administrations before they were on the court. Odd how you only are concerned about the judge in NY and none of the other thousand instances of a regular occurrence?
Besides, look in the mirror (oh I forgot; you do not own one). Virginia Thomas was literally texting with some of the participants who were investigated for their actions surrounding January 6th and the false electors. You never said a peep when Thomas did not recuse himself from any Supreme Court actions. He had a much greater conflict of interest than any thing Marchan has in New York. Yet you were silent.
Also, it looks likes Alito's wife was publicly commenting on many of those same events that Alito was ruling on. Alito was sleeping in the same bed as her. Yet you don't have a problem with that.
That makes you a hypocrit.
"Plus all the collusion going on there."
I am going to ask what collusion?
You will not answer. If you do, it will just be with a bunch of crazy allegations. Most of which you would apply more to Trump than anyone else, but you won't realize that. Either way, you won't be able to provide a shred of evidence of anyone colluding. It has been demonstrated many times in the past you do not understand the difference between evidence and allegation. I bet your history repeats here. How much do you want to bet?
"There's chair *points to a char*. Sit down."
You know the reason need to sit down after reading your posts? They need to catch their breath from laughing so hard.

Alito flies a flag supporting the insurrection but that's OK? You're too funny.
