Hi,
First, the New York Times revealed that Samuel Alito had a Stop the Steal
style flag flying above his house during critical 2020 election cases.^1
Then, he failed to recuse himself from the Trump immunity case despite the
clear conflict of interest.
Now, The Intercept reports that Alito taught a law seminar beside an
election denier just days after January 6. Alito is deep in a web of
right-wing extremism and election denial.^2
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamie Raskin are finally demanding
Chief Justice John Roberts answer ethics questions about Alito and a
January 6 ruling.^3 Conservatives on the Supreme Court have gotten away
with scandal after scandal — it’s time for Congress to pass an
enforceable, binding code of ethics to stop the corruption on SCOTUS.

Alito was set to write the Court’s opinion in the Fischer v. U.S. January
6 case, but Roberts bumped Alito days after the New York Times report
about Alito’s MAGA flag. AOC and Raskin, lead Democrats on the House
Oversight and Accountability Committee, are probing Roberts’s
behind-the-scenes decision-making and the ethics issues on SCOTUS.^4
That letter came before the new bombshell report that Alito shared
teaching responsibilities with an election denier who spoke with Trump on
January 6 and peddled fringe theories about election fraud.^5
The right-wing justices on the Supreme Court will continue shirking any
ethical standards and engaging in far-right extremism unless Congress acts
and passes a SCOTUS ethics act.
