Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has dismissed questions regarding an upside-down flag outside Justice Samuel Alito's home in January 2021. McConnell emphasized that there are continuous attacks on the Supreme Court and stated, 'We need to leave the Supreme Court alone, protect them from people who went into their neighborhoods.' He declined to comment further on the issue, reiterating the need to safeguard the justices from ongoing scrutiny and criticism. McConnell also avoided addressing whether Justice Alito should recuse himself in any cases related to the election. Meanwhile, some lawmakers, like Rep. Sherrill, argue that the Supreme Court needs real ethics standards and accountability.
