Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has refused to recuse himself from cases related to the January 6 Capitol riot and the 2020 election, despite calls from Democratic lawmakers. The controversy stems from flags associated with far-right causes being flown at his homes in Virginia and New Jersey. Alito attributed the flags to his wife, Martha-Ann Alito, stating that she was responsible for flying the upside-down American flag and an 'Appeal to Heaven' flag at their beach house. Alito insisted that he had no involvement in the decision to display the flags and emphasized his duty to remain impartial. Judge Michael Ponsor publicly criticized Alito's actions in an op-ed in the New York Times, calling them 'improper' and 'dumb.' Former President Donald Trump praised Alito for his decision not to recuse himself, highlighting his 'courage' and 'guts.' The controversy also involved clashes with neighbors, and Alito addressed the issue in a letter to Senate Democrats.

Samuel Alito, still, has never challenged the meaning of the two controversial flags hung outside his homes.
Justice Alito is blaming his wife for his own actions, all while unconstitutionally stripping millions of women of their rights on the Court. For the sake of our democracy, he must recuse himself from all January 6th cases.

Justice Alito claims that the Jan 6 flags outside his homes were displayed at his wife’s insistence. Maybe so. But that is not the issue. It's his insistence that he sit on cases where his impartiality is so plainly at issue. It's his ethical judgment in question, not hers.
Justice Alito clearly has a conflict of interests in any case related to January 6, yet is refusing to recuse himself. This is unacceptable. We need serious, enforceable ethics reform to restore the American people's trust in the Supreme Court. https://t.co/rvTAvYPMSU
