U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has stated that his wife was responsible for raising an upside-down American flag at their Virginia home in 2021, which was part of a dispute with neighbors over 'personally insulting' yard signs. Alito mentioned that he asked his wife to take down the flag, but she refused for several days. Additionally, his wife also displayed an 'Appeal to Heaven' flag at their New Jersey beach house last year. Despite the controversy, Alito has announced that he will not recuse himself from any January 6 cases, explaining his wife's fondness for flying flags and his lack of interest in them. This statement follows his earlier one contradicted by a neighbor’s police report.
