Friend,

The insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 was a horrifying act of
violence perpetuated and led by former President Trump and his MAGA
supporters. While the Supreme Court is considering cases about how those
who encouraged the insurrection should be handled in the eyes of the law,
reports continue linking Supreme Court Justice Alito to demonstrations of
support for the rioters.

Recently, an upside-down American flag was found to have flown outside the
home of Justice Samuel Alito in the days following the January 6
insurrection, a symbol commonly affiliated with Trump supporters who
falsely claimed there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election. At
Alito’s vacation home, an “Appeal to Heaven” flag – also deployed by
insurrectionists and affiliated with Christian nationalists who want to
remake the government in their theological vision – was flown as recently
as 2023! ^[1,2]

Such blatant support of insurrectionist causes while the Court has several
insurrection-related cases before it calls for Alito’s recusal from these
cases and for the Senate to investigate the ways in which Justice Alito’s
behavior offends current legal and ethical requirements as well as the
handling of this matter by Chief Justice Roberts.

The legitimacy of the Supreme Court is at stake. We must do everything we
can to ensure that justices on the Supreme Court adhere to the standards
of impartiality required under the law and under the Court’s own ethical
principles.

The Court issues decisions that impact our lives on a daily basis. We must
ensure steps are taken to restore the integrity of this institution.
[ [link removed] ]Join us in urging the Senate to investigate Alito’s ethical breaches
and the role that Chief Justice Roberts has played in handling this
matter! >>

Your signature on this petition asserts your commitment to an impartial
judiciary that demands justice for all. Together, we can send a clear
message about the role the Senate can play in insuring that end.

Thanks for all that you do.
