We've all played the 'imagine if Biden or Obama did what Trump did' game, but imagine if, say, Sotomayor said 'Well, my husband flew an anarchist flag because people were pissing him off'

Samuel Alito should retire so he can spend more time blaming his family.

This is their second swing at the story and nobody's explained why the response was 'hanging the flag upside down.'

Republican Supreme Court Justices Alito and Thomas: quick to deflect blame onto their wives for seditionist behavior. Alito having an upside down flag at his house in the aftermath of Jan 6 & the U.S. Capitol being attacked is despicable. One would think this would violate their
