'Stop the Steal' symbol reportedly on display at Justice Alito's home

Judicial experts say Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito violated ethics rules by displaying a symbol of the 'Stop the Steal' movement as former President Donald Trump tried to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election. According to a New York Times report, an upside-down American flag was flown outside Alito's home near Washington while the Supreme Court was considering challenges to the election back in 2021.

The gesture now calls Alito's impartiality into question, as the court is currently deciding whether Trump has immunity from prosecution related to the January 6th attack on the Capitol. In a statement to the Times, Alito said his wife flew the inverted flag in response to a neighbor's display of a profane anti-Trump sign.
