Sam Alito’s flag flew upside down. Are his ethics?

The upside-down U.S. flag flying at the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. — only days after the Trump-inspired insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 — shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. After all, Alito has been doing the moral equivalent for years —and at the office, which is way worse.

Of course, the flag flying was grossly improper, an apparent endorsement of the “Stop the Steal” movement. Alito himself seemed to recognize this as he blamed his wife for the oh-say-can-you-see moment, asserting it flew just briefly after a neighborhood dispute escalated into a profane personal attack on Martha-Ann Alito.
