"As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused," Alito says of the upside down American flag that flew in his yard in January 2021.
"I do not want to cross my wife! She'll hang me faster than an upside down flag!" - Alito probably
"If I piss off my wife she starts chanting 'Hang Mike Pence!' and makes me sleep in the RV! " - Thomas probably
Who exists 2 mete out #censure? No 1. None of it matters to Alito. This is great advantage of conservatives’ having built their own media infrastructure, their own echo chamber w its own twisted morality (rule #1: If it helps us stay in power, do it; rule number two: If it infuriates the libs, do it over and over). They can tune us out completely. Ditto polls. They just don’t care.
There is no such thing as shame anymore w for #Alito & fellow Justice #ClarenceThomas. https://newrepublic.com/article/181732/samuel-alito-clarence-thomas-theocratic-leninists
"Shortly after the Times story [about Alito and the insurrectionist flag] ran, Republicans on the House Committee on the Judiciary posted on X a picture of Alito and Thomas with the all-caps caption, 'AMERICAN HEROES.' They’re praising Alito and Thomas because it triggers the libs, those beleaguered folks who foolishly believe that norms and rules matter."
"Republicans correctly view Alito and Thomas as partners in a project to remake America into a hyper-conservative Christian state rather than as part of a separate branch of government that acts as a check and balance on the legislature.
Republicans also correctly view both justices as people who don’t believe any rules should apply to them. … The only thing that will fix this is court reform, enshrined into law by Congress."
"HOW MANY LAST STRAWS can there be? When it comes to the Supreme Court, the supply appears to be infinite.
The Court needs an extreme makeover ASAP, and that is far from an extreme idea. It’s the only path back to a high court that is trustworthy, balanced, logical, and durable."

P.S. I'll second this assessment despite Lawrence's obligatory mendacious "conservative" both-sidesism.
A political cartoon by Bill Bramhall commenting on the open political shenanigans of two wives of Supreme Court justices – Alito and Thomas – and how this explodes the claims of those justices to issue judicial rulings with impartiality.
Since we now know Alito was flying his flag upside down at the time, let’s review one of the plans the coup plotters had involving him.
This interview by criminal defendant Powell is interesting. It suggests that the purpose of the insurrection was to DELAY the electoral college certification to give #Alito time to intervene on this legal challenge. But, Powell says they didn’t anticipate Pelosi reconvening Congress that day.

ChristoFascist thug ensures children are forced to birth their rapist baby, Women & girls bleed out while healthcare is denied ... this monster has two insurrection flags signaling solidarity ....Alito must recuse himself. Then, preferably resign and apologize to the American people.
Now, Alito is refusing to answer questions about the second flag. That dog won't hunt.
#Alito & #ClarenceThomas have shown blatant political bias and a censure resolution should only be Step 1.
Alito is required to recuse under 28 USC 455 where his impartiality could reasonably be questioned. My research shows that a sitting judge can be disbarred. I presume he still has a #NJ license. Americans, we are going to stay on him like a bloodhound. #Treasury tax audit now. Find the bribes.
