The Supreme Court vs. Democracy
WASHINGTON -- The silence from the Supreme Extreme Court is deafening. News broke that a Republican member's house flew a "Stop the Steal" American flag days after the Jan. 6 mob attack on the Capitol.
This kind of defiance, actually applauding the violent takeover of democracy, is unheard of in the annals of the Supreme Court.
Justice Samuel Alito should be gone from the court. Today. He can take his lethal blow against legal abortion with him.
The Princeton man was on the warpath to reverse Roe v. Wade his entire career. Finally, he authored the Dobbs decision in 2022, dismissing law on reproductive rights as "egregiously wrong."
The New York Times reported Alito's flag, leaving us to wonder why it took more than three years).
What an outrage.
Yet Alito expressed no remorse and refuses to recuse himself from Jan. 6 cases. His haughty non-denial is in character.
"I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag," Alito claimed. "It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor's use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs."
Oh, so the Alitos can do pretty much anything they want?
