inauguration.
The New York Times reports that an upside-down American flag flew in front
of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's house days before President
Biden's inauguration. The upside-down flag is a symbol adopted by Trump
supporters and election deniers after Jan 6.
Federal law says justices must recuse themselves from any case "in which
their impartiality might reasonably be questioned" or "where they have a
personal bias or prejudice." Alito has refused to do this for two big
cases related to Trump and Jan 6. One case could give Trump complete
immunity from prosecution.
The head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dick Durbin, told reporters
this week that he won't investigate the incident because he "[doesn’t]
think there’s much to be gained."
John, this Supreme Court was already facing a legitimacy
crisis. With the possibility that the Justices could decide the 2024
election, the American people deserve a full investigation of Justice
Alito's flag-flying incident.
[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION TO SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE CHAIR DICK DURBIN:
Investigate whether Justice Alito's flag-flying shows that his
"impartiality might reasonably be questioned" or that he "has a personal
bias or prejudice" that demands his recusal from cases involving Trump and
Jan 6.
We're sharing the public's demand for answers with members of Congress,
including Sen. Durbin and other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
