Some members of the Democratic party are urging Congress to take action against conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, potentially involving impeachment. According to The New York Times, there were reports of an upside-down American flag and a “Stop The Steal” flag being flown outside of his residence on January 17, 2021, just days before President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
In an interview with Fox News, Justice Alito clarified that he was not responsible for the flags being displayed outside his home. He mentioned that the situation began on January 6 when a neighbor placed a sign near a child’s bus stop with a derogatory message towards former President Trump.
“He said his wife, Martha-Ann, then spoke with those neighbors about the sign, and the conversation was not well received,” Fox News reported.
The justice mentioned that the neighbors engaged in a heated argument with Mrs. Alito, using offensive language, while she was passing by. According to him, Mrs. Alito’s reaction was to briefly display an inverted American flag and a “Stop The Steal” flag as a form of retaliation. However, this has not appeased the Democrats, who are insisting on taking action against the justice.
While speaking on MSNBC, Senator Richard Blumenthal expressed his anger towards the Justice and emphasized the need for both the Chief Justice and Congress to take appropriate measures.
“I think all of these displays, the Ginni Thomas case, going to the Federalist Society, the hanging of the flag upside down, you might be able to, in some world, dismiss all of it as outside the court action, if it weren’t for the fact, the thing you just said, which is the most crucial thing. There is nothing more important than the notion that a president who has been indicted for having been a participant in and having led an insurrection against the United States government, that that case be heard before this election so that the former president, Donald Trump, would have legal and political accountability so voters would know whether this man was guilty of having committed a crime of that nature. And there is no conceivable world in which we are really going to say, whether you’re conservative or liberal, that the president of the United States is beyond the reach of the law, is immune from any prosecution, for anything he does when he is in office,” the senator said.
“And yet, the U.S. Supreme Court in a wholly predictable, partisan way, decided to say — as you said, slow walk — and I’d say an outrageous decision not to take, to just pass on this case. Given what the appeals court had done, there was only one right answer, which was, there is no issue here. There is no issues here other than the partisan issue. And now they’re going to almost certainly guarantee we will not have a verdict in that case before voters go to the polls in November. It is a shocking, substantive — not a symbolic thing. I’m not downplaying the hanging of the flag upside down. That is the leading indicator. That is what is reflective of this total casting aside of any attempt or pretense of being nonpartisan. It is just, ‘We are doing what our, in this case, conservative ideology tells us to do, and we’re working for Donald Trump,’” he said.
