Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another Alito Home

Three photographs obtained by The New York Times, along with accounts from a half-dozen neighbors and passers-by, show that the Appeal to Heaven flag was aloft at the Alito home on Long Beach Island in July and September of 2023. A Google street view image from late August also shows the flag.

Justice Alito declined to respond to questions about the beach house flag, including what it was intended to convey and how it comported with his obligations as a justice. The court also declined to respond.

Alito: Recuse yourself from voting of anything Trump related notably the Trump immunity case currently before the Supreme Court.

Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen.

Both Alito and Thomas have no sense of what they represent.

Read this op-ed in this morning's "New York Times."

They have no sense of shame.

I certainly hope he dies soon.

A good start would be to stop lifetime appointments. Let the people vote on that.

Who?

I'm very tired of being stressed by these abominations who regard themselves as people.

Did those neighbors also call his wife a cunt?

Hang Mike Pense ooops, er.... Hang Justice Alito Hang Justice Alito Hang Justice Alito Hang Justice Alito

Perhaps lifetime appointments worked when the country wasn't so divided and when there was more honor to serving on the Supreme Court...and when people died when they were 60-70 years old. That is no longer the case. These justices are now hanging onto their positions until they're 90.

Supreme Court reform is desperately needed. We are long overdue. to get rid of the likes of Alito and Clarence Thomas. There should be mandatory retirement at 72.

These guys can't even pretend to be impartial. Scary.

R11, but then all the Senate would ever do is fight over federal judicial confirmations. It would cripple our court system even further.

According the proponents of the flag, it represents their intent to create an entirely 'biblically-faithful' Christian government with laws that 'adhere to God's truth.'"

R13. The Senate fights now. No judge should have a lifetime appointment. How would forcing justices to retire cripple our court system.?

“Higher, higher! I want the whole neighborhood to see it!” 🏳️

My wife did it!!! Blame her!!!!

Throwing your wife under the bus is a very Trumpian move. This man is so obviously in Dump's back pocket, Helen Keller could see it from outer space. At the VERY LEAST he needs to recuse himself of anything involving Dump or Jan 6th.

Oh, please! You fags have got it all wrong. It was some Antifa commies who put that flag up. They wanted to shame our wonderful judge, Samuel. (Like in the bible!) I say, shame on you all, but it doesn't matter anyway, as any day now, Jesus will send you all to the fiery pits of hell!

I hope no one finds about that Nazi flag and that Confederate flag *nervous giggle*

He flew an even more controversial one — it proclaimed the dress was blue/black

I like the fact that their neighbors — who clearly loathe them — are the ones who tipped off the press. I just wish they’s done it earlier.

So how do you think Alito and Clarence Thomas will vote on Trump's immunity case?

Duh. Motherfucking traitor.

I agree with R6 & R11 that lifetime appointments are a bad idea. Canada has mandatory retirement for its Supreme Court Justices at 75. Maybe that would be a good idea to implement for the U.S. Supreme Court.

A Supreme Court justice should not display anything that references an affiliation- they must maintain a position of neutrality.

The US constitution is so antiquated. In an age when popes and monarchs retire, we retain life-time appointments. Not to mention the Electoral College, that quaint 18th century relic.

I fucked you all.

Sure R26, let's modernize it and make it like a written version of the 2024 alphabet soup flag. It's sooo 1787.

Using the "alphabet soup" talking point gives you away as a Republican troll

"The United States is the only country that gives its most senior judges lifetime appointments without mandatory retirement age. "

It needs to change.

[quote]Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it dates back to the Revolutionary War, but largely fell into obscurity until recent years and is now a symbol of support for former President Donald J. Trump

I hate that they do this. Make up your own cult symbols, leave our history alone.

Oh my goodness. What a scandal

It’s rumored that both Thomas and Alito (who are in their mid-70s) want to retire and will do so if Trump wins as president. If Biden wins and Dems hold the Senate and Congress, they can initiate impeachment proceedings for both justices, who would probably be pressured by Roberts to resign and avoid a protracted impeachment process which will further embarrass the court.

Their retirement might also head off legislation that would significantly effect terms limits and ethics codes which should also be put in place. At least that’s how I hope things will begin to play out if we do well in November.

[quote]they can initiate impeachment proceedings for both justices

Would they, though?

Bush v. Gore should have taught this country that the Supreme Court should have TERM LIMITS. A ten year term is more than sufficient including the Chief Justice.

The Alitos apparently enjoy threatening their neighbors
