Full story from the New York Times (free link): At Justice Alito's House, a 'Stop the Steal' Symbol on Display

> While the flag was up, the court was still contending with whether to hear a 2020 election case, with Justice Alito on the losing end of that decision. In coming weeks, the justices will rule on two climactic cases involving the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, including whether Mr. Trump has immunity for his actions. Their decisions will shape how accountable he can be held for trying to overturn the last presidential election and his chances for re-election in the upcoming one.

> “I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,” Justice Alito said in an emailed statement to The Times. “It was briefly placed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.”

Wondering why his house looks like mine. I mean, I kind of expected more

Flying the flag upside down has a very specific purpose, and it is disrespectful to do so for any other reason.
