Some Democrats asked whether Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. could be impartial after an upside-down flag flew at his home following the 2021 U.S. Capitol attack.

He has something of a history of flying flags in support of the insurrection.

    congress could remove alito today, if they wanted.

    so, why havent they? oh yeah, a huge percent of them are his corrupt allies.

    Annnnnnd its well known that mcconnel was just the front man taking the heat for our shitty congress . he wasnt working alone, in a vacuum.

      You’re using the word “Congress” to refer to Congressional Republicans, and it’s disingenuous.

          They did… That’s why McConnell was able to get the current picks in. SCOTUS picks just need a simple majority in the Senate.
