Justice Alito Faces Criticism Over 'Stop the Steal' Flag at Virginia Home; Durbin Calls for Recusal
May 17, 2024, 02:43 PM
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is facing criticism after an upside-down American flag, a symbol associated with the 'Stop the Steal' movement, was displayed outside his Virginia home in January 2021. The flag, adopted by Trump supporters contesting the 2020 election results, was seen just days before President Joe Biden's inauguration. Alito stated that his wife, Martha-Ann Alito, placed the flag in response to a neighbor's offensive anti-Trump sign. The New York Times reported on this incident, and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin has called for Alito to recuse himself from cases related to the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol attack, citing concerns over impartiality and an ethical crisis.
