Former President Donald J. Trump is a fighter, and as such he appreciates when conservatives don’t wilt under pressure, and he had high praise for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
Alito has been the focus of a vicious and dishonest smear campaign spearheaded by the New York Times which has thrown a fit over two flags that the George W. Bush-appointed justice had flying over his homes, propaganda for an operation by Democrats to force his recusal from the Trump immunity case.
On Wednesday, the embattled high court jurist rejected the call from two top Senate Democrats for him to recuse himself, telling them exactly where they can stuff their demands.
Following the news of Alito’s up-yours response to Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) who are trying to bully Chief Justice John Roberts into pulling him from the historically consequential ruling, Trump took to Truth Social to give the conservative justice his props.

“Congratulations to United States Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for showing the INTELLIGENCE, COURAGE, and ‘GUTS’ to refuse stepping aside from making a decision on anything January 6th related. All U.S. Judges, Justices, and Leaders should have such GRIT – Our Country would be far more advanced than its current status as A BADLY FAILING NATION, headed by the Worst President in American History, Crooked Joe Biden!” Trump said.
In his blistering letter to the two Democrats, Alito emphasized that the upside-down “distress” flag on his own property was solely the responsibility of his wife, Martha-Ann Alito who as he pointed out to the senators, “is a private citizen, and she possesses the same First Amendment, rights as every other American.”

“I am confident that a reasonable person who is not motivated by political or ideological considerations or a desire to affect the outcome of Supreme Court cases would conclude that the events recounted above do not meet the applicable standard for recusal. I am therefore required to reject your request,” Alito wrote after summarizing the flag fracas, the result of his wife’s feud with a radical left-wing neighbor.
Alito expertly called out Durbin and Whitehouse who are blatantly trying to swing the outcome of the Trump immunity case by having him benched.
Democrats aren’t about to take no for an answer and just give up, not with the high stakes of the Trump ruling. House Judiciary Committee members are redoubling their efforts against Alito and the rest of the conservative justices with their scam ethics code.
“Adopting a code of ethics and failing to enforce [it] only serves to reinforce the perception that Supreme Court justices operate without consequences for clearly unethical behavior,” wrote Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and other committee Democrats in a Wednesday letter to Roberts.
“Do you plan to request Justice Alito recuse himself from any cases related to Donald Trump? If not, why not?” Nadler asked.
