“After the 2020 presidential election, as some Trump supporters falsely claimed that President Biden had stolen the office, many of them displayed a startling symbol outside their homes, on their cars and in online posts: an upside-down American flag.”
“One of the homes flying an inverted flag during that time was the residence of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., in Alexandria, Va., according to photographs and interviews with neighbors.”
“While the flag was up, the court was still contending with whether to hear a 2020 election case, with Justice Alito on the losing end of that decision.”
“The Due Process clauses of the United States Constitution require judges to recuse themselves from cases in two situations:
- Where the judge has a financial interest in the case's outcome.
- “Where there is otherwise a strong possibility that the judge’s decision will be biased”

So how are Alito and Thomas ruling on any case involving Trump? Does anyone on the right have a moral compass? And I thought the right, especially the “Originalists” on the SCOTUS had the utmost respect for the Constitution and the Founding Fathers?
