Alito Refuses Calls for Recusal Over Display of Provocative Flags

Quote

Justice Samuel Alito Jr. said on Wednesday that he would not recuse himself from two cases arising from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol after reports that flags flown over houses he owned appeared to support the “Stop the Steal” movement, the New York Times reports.

Said Alito, in letters to members of Congress who had demanded his recusal: “My wife is fond of flying flags. I am not. She was solely responsible for having flagpoles put up at our residence and our vacation home and has flown a wide variety of flags over the years.” 

Completely ignoring the new (toothless) code of ethics adopted by the SCOTUS.

CANON 2: A JUSTICE SHOULD AVOID IMPROPRIETY AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY IN ALL ACTIVITIES.

How is he ignoring that?

Please look up the definition of IMPROPRIETY and get back to us. Also, how does that apply to his wife?

Seriously, this continues to be one of the most dumb, phony outrage schemes by the left this year.

Flying that flag is an appearance of advocating the side of a group which has multiple issues before the court.

Do you not have ANY idea of the meaning of "propriety" in the requirement of impartiality of a JoSCOTUS?

Again, ^that is a copout. What his wife does IN PUBLIC is a reflection ON HIM.

There was no sign on that flag that excludes him from responsibility for its advocacy. Duh

You just said: "What his wife does IN PUBLIC is a reflection ON HIM."

So, which is it? Is he supposed to be responsible for his wife/control her actions or not?

Where do you get that from? That is YOUR made up allegation, not what she was doing.

She is supposed to respect the ethical limitations which justify his salary.

So you believe she "just happened" to fly TWO FLAGS which were flown at the insurrection?

IF you do, you're even dumber than I thought.

There was no insurrection. There were many flags flown that day, including the American Flag. 

The only dumb thing going on here is this stupid phony outrage game you are playing
