“Alito doesn’t deny the flag was flying upside down, doesn’t deny its meaning, doesn’t express any disapproval for it and doesn’t disavow it.”
This wasn’t a random period of time. It was AFTER January 6 and BEFORE the inauguration.
ITS A SYMBOL OF INSURRECTION.
A Justice has never made a more persuasive case for the Legislature to kick them out on their ass for bad behavior than has Alito.

Samuel Alito Didn’t Give a F--k Then and He Doesn’t Give a F--k Now
He can’t even be bothered to disavow the meaning behind the upside-down flag that was flown on his lawn in support of Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.Bess Levin (Vanity Fair)
As with all of her postings, everything Heather Cox Richardson says today deserves attention. She opens by noting that the Dow Jones closed above 40,000 for the first time in history. But "in comparison to the breathless coverage of the stock market during Trump’s administration, this milestone is getting very little coverage."

When you look at the facts of the Trump indictment — not imagined hypothetical scenarios — there is no way the Constitution grants him immunity from prosecution.
(Samuel Breidbart, Brennan Center for Justice)
Two centuries of U.S. constitutional history make clear that Donald Trump is liable to criminal prosecution.

There's been some talk #Trump choosing #Rubio as his VP would have issues because they are both from the same state (Florida), but it's hard to believe the #SupremeCourt #Republican males would allow courts to intervene even though the text (and well accepted understanding) of the Constitution prohibits Florida electors from voting for both of them. They would just make up something, like they did for the 14th amendment Insurrection Clause. #scotus #usa #2024Election

"It’s a rogue court, a thoroughly corrupt one, one that is so far gone in its corruption that it feels free even from the practical obligation to clothe its corruption for the sake of appearances."

"We cannot pretend that this is normal or acceptable. Indeed, the MAGA extremists are depending on Democrats to be temperate, refined, and reserved in the face of corruption. The time for presumptions of goodwill and deference to the Court has passed. It abused our trust and refused to regulate itself. We must do so before it is too late."

"The display we saw yesterday was a vivid illustration of how the Court has gone thoroughly rogue, cutting itself off from even the appearances of the processes that give it legitimacy. That is the core of the current Court’s corruption."
