Justice Alito's home flew flag upside down after Trump's election fraud claims, report says
==========
An upside-down American flag, associated with Trump's false election fraud claims, was displayed outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. in January 2021, days after the Capitol riot. The flag was placed by Alito's wife in response to a neighbor's use of objectionable language on yard signs. The display raises concerns about Alito's impartiality as the court considers cases related to the attack and Trump's immunity from prosecution. Trust in the Supreme Court is at its lowest point in 50 years. The flag display violates ethics rules to avoid bias. The U.S. Flag Code states that the flag should not be flown upside down except as a signal of dire distress. The Supreme Court did not respond to questions about whether its own rules on partisan displays apply to justices.
