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.

The upside-down flag was aloft on Jan. 17, 2021, the images showed. President Donald J. Trump’s supporters, including some brandishing the same symbol, had rioted at the Capitol a little over a week before. Mr. Biden’s inauguration was three days away. Alarmed neighbors snapped photographs, some of which were recently obtained by The New York Times. Word of the flag filtered back to the court, people who worked there said in interviews.

Just when you think the legitimacy of this court could sink no further, they always find a way to shock us further.

What would a legitimate court look like exactly?

One where justices aren't bought wholesale by billionaires?

Upside-down flag is the universal symbol of distress. It has also (ironically) reportedly been used as a protest against the decision that overturned Roe v Wade. I know the date and time of when the flag was flown matters, but this is ridiculous.

It was also common after Trump was elected in 2016.

Exactly my point, there's no need to read into this as anything more than a statement of displeasure at the result. Now, that does raise another question about whether that kind of statement is appropriate from a Supreme Court Justice, but it's not the same as supporting "Stop the Steal".

Alito isn't an unknown quantity we are just getting acquainted with. He's been a SCOTUS justice almost twenty years. Everybody but the most naive understands what the meaning of this gesture was.

Hey guys, I think I found Alito's car.

That's interesting that the Post's investigation seems to corroborate what Alito said. I hope we find out what exactly happened here.

What more is to learn? Alito is a Republican hack who was butthurt because Trump lost and decided to make his displeasure public by using these MAGA-related flags.
