45 House Democrats Call for Justice Alito's Recusal and Censure Over Jan. 6 Flag Controversy
May 22, 2024, 02:01 PM
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is facing widespread calls for recusal and censure from 45 House Democrats following revelations that an upside-down U.S. flag, associated with the 'Stop the Steal' movement, was flown outside his home. The flag, seen as a political statement, has led to accusations of improper political bias, particularly concerning two Jan. 6 cases and the 2020 election. Representative Steve Cohen introduced a resolution to censure Alito, while other Democrats, including Rep. Hank Johnson and Rep. Gerry Connolly, have echoed demands for his recusal. Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, are also discussing potential actions with the Senate Judiciary Committee. Alito has attributed the flag's display to a dispute involving his wife, but this explanation has been met with skepticism. The controversy has intensified scrutiny on the Supreme Court's ethical standards and impartiality.
