Subject: Alito's "Upside Down" American Flag
An upside-down American flag, adopted by Trump supporters contesting the Biden victory, flew over Justice Alito’s front lawn as the Supreme Court was considering an election case.

After the 2020 presidential election, as some Trump supporters falsely claimed that President Biden had stolen the office, many of them displayed a startling symbol outside their homes, on their cars and in online posts: an upside-down American flag.

One of the homes flying an inverted flag during that time was the residence of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., in Alexandria, Va., according to photographs and interviews with neighbors.

What now?

I'll quote Tom Nichols here, who wrote: 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"

This isn't normal, and we shouldn't accept it as normal.

And why the hell did it take over three years for this to come to light?

Unbelievable.
