Why The Absurd Alito Flag Controversy Is A Good Sign

Why? The absurd flag-flying scandal, undoubtedly annoying to Justice Samuel Alito and his family, is all the proof we need that decisions pending at the U.S. Supreme Court will not go the Democrats' way.

Alito specifically cited January 6 in one exchange with U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who represented the DOJ in Fischer v USA, the 1512(c)(2) case, on April 16.

'[For] all the protests that have occurred in this Court, the Justice Department has not charged any serious offenses, and I don't think any one of those protestors has been sentenced to even one day in prison," Alito told her.

"Well without the support of insurrectionists Alito and Thomas, the 1512(c)(2) count would have held!" Laurence Tribe will wail.

Their crusade to effectively cancel the votes of Alito and Thomas in the public eye includes demands by Senate Democrats to meet with Chief Justice John Roberts, an invitation Roberts presumably will decline.

Alito specifically took aim at U.S. Circuit Court Judge Florence Pan's gotcha hypothetical about Seal Team Six during appellate hearing.

Calling Seal Team Six "Honorable," Alito disputed Pan's suggestion that a president could order the special forces to assassinate a political rival and not face criminal charges.
