Upside-down flag at Justice Alito’s home another blow for

Supreme Court under fire

WASHINGTON (AP) — An
upside-down U.S. flag has
long been a sign of dire dis-
tress and versatile symbol
of protest. But in January
2021, when it flew over the
home of Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Alito, it was
largely seen in connection
with a specific cause: the
false claim by then-Presi-
dent Donald Trump’s sup-
porters that the 2020 elec-
tion had been marred by
fraud.
The revelation this week
about the flag flying at
Alito’s home was the latest
blow to a Supreme Court
that was already under
fire as it considers unprec-
edented cases against
Trump and some of those
charged with rioting at
the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6,
2021.Alito has said the flag
was briefly flown by his wife
amid a dispute with neigh-
bors and he had no part in Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Jr., left, and his wife Martha-Ann Alito, pay their respects at the casket of Reverend Billy Graham
it. at the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, Feb. 28, 2018.
