  1. It’s OK for Alito to disrespect the flag. ? And all the Trump are like that’s OK. He can do what he wants.Its Murica. But a tool like Kaepernick can’t take a knee.? he didn’t crap on the flag turn it upside down turn it into something it’s not. Then blame it on wife. Since she runs show. Pathetic

  2. U.S. CODE 455 DISQUALIFICATION OF JUSTICES, JUDGES, OR MAGISTRATE JUDGES, DISQUALIFIES JUSTICE ALITO BUT CONGRESS ALWAYS FILLS ITS MOUTH WITH THE SLOGAN," THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" PRETENDING THAT THEY ARE REALLY CONCERNED TO PROTECT AND DEFENDING US WHEN THEIR HYPOCRISY CAN'T BE HIGHER IF ONE OF THE COMMON CITIZENS TRESPASS THE LAW OF THE LAND. REMEMBER NOT ONE FLAG BUT TWO(2) FLAGS. THE OTHER FLAG WAS A FLAG WITH THE SYMBOL OF A PINE TREE AT HIS BEACH HOUSE THAT ALSO REFLECTS THE DENIAL OF THE 2020 ELECTION.

  3. I am one minute in and am shutting it off because so many lies…
    Did having to settle for nearly a billion dollars for knowingly lying to your viewers teach you nothing?
    To the regular viewers, do you ever wonder what your source of information is telling you that isn’t true? Do you ever wonder what they aren’t telling you?

  4. The INSIDE, doesn't like us appealing to heaven when they forget America exists for the people, not for government control. I'm getting ten!!! Get one for all your friends..

  5. So Alito knows it looks bad which is the standard. Court cannot look partisian and yet it does. We all know that the court does not represent all American by Alito's actions. Nothing can be done to correct this. America must bear Thomas and Alito like Covid!

  6. I can only imagine the outrage that would have ensued on Faux "News" and in MAGAt-world if, say, Justice Sottomayor flew an Antifa flag. Or even Black Lives Matter. Sheer hypocrisy.

  7. HE IS A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE. They are NON political. Did you get an education in middle school or high school? You are being DUPED. Consider further education and thinking for yourself, it is ok. INDEPENDENT THOT

  8. Cotton is so deep into Anti-Democrat's he is blind to anything else. Regarding Alito. He can fly a flag however he wants and believe whatever he wants but it may be grounds for his being disqualified from some proceedings. The SCOTUS Code of Conduct reads –
    B. DISQUALIFICATION.
    (1) A Justice is presumed impartial and has an obligation to sit unless disqualified.
    (2) A Justice should disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the Justice’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, that is, where an unbiased and reasonable person who is aware of all relevant circumstances would doubt that the Justice could fairly discharge his or her duties. Such instances include, but are not limited to, those in which:
    (a) The Justice has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding;

  9. Americans, demand the impeachment of this crooked judge. We cannot wait for dems or justice dept because we have been under an attack, under a take over of our democracy. No agency has done a thin about it and the media reports all these acts as something normal in our country. The intelligence agencies should investigate the 2016 election, because trump may have had fake electors. Americans who want a democracy must stand up now before it is too late. This is not a dems vs reps, we must defend democracy! Remove the trumps from this country!

  10. The "Appeal to Heaven" flag, also known as the "Pine Tree Flag," is an early American flag that features a green pine tree with the phrase "An Appeal to Heaven" inscribed above it. This flag holds historical significance and is associated with the American Revolutionary War.

    The pine tree was a common symbol in New England, representing the region's rich forests and the liberty that colonists were seeking.

    An Appeal To Heaven: In the context of the American Revolution, it symbolized the colonists' belief that their cause was just and sanctioned by divine providence.

    Overall, the "Appeal to Heaven" flag is a powerful historical symbol that continues to resonate with themes of liberty, justice, and divine providence.

  11. Alito, unless like Scott and Cruz he is a drooling m0r0n, would have known that the 2020 election was not “stolen”. Judges are forbidden to show partisan symbols.

  12. Okay, censors, propagandists that you are, how about some truth on this channel, for a change, huh?

    Given the known symbolism of the two flags flown by insurrectionists at the Capitol 1/6/21, the timing of Alito's flying them, the duration of Alito's flying them, and Alito's acknowledgement of and woefully inadequate "my dog ate my homework" explanation for the flag flying so soon after the 1/6/21 insurrection, I do not know how one can reasonably avoid the conclusion that Alito's participation in and ruling on Trump, Trump election, and insurrection/Capitol riot cases wreaks of the "appearance of impropriety" such that the 5/24/24 letter of Senators Durbin and Whitehouse to the Chief Justice was not only warranted, it was-at a bare minimum-required. One could reasonably conclude that the Supreme Court, with Alito (and Thomas) participating, has already effectively put a thumb, hand, and arm on the scales of Justice by granting and continuing to grant Trump the delay he so desperately sought of trial of the 1/6/21 insurrection case while denying and continuing to deny the entire nation its right to a speedy trial of that case. One could also reasonably conclude that the message that delay has sent to the entire nation has been received by Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon, who has delayed indefinitely Trump's stolen government documents and obstructions of justice case in Florida. As if we needed a reminder, Justice delayed is Justice denied. Need one even ask what the Republican House and Senate members would demand were one of Justices Kagan, Sotomayor, or Brown to have flown a Biden-Harris flag while Trump was pursuing his 60+ lawful election challenges? Recusal, I suspect, would be a very long way from enough to satisfy their appetite.

  13. How can we get rid of these anti-American justices like Alito? Can they be impeached or fired what’s the deal. These people are trying to sabotage our country just like Trump

  14. Funny, our country will allow foreigners to walk on our flag, burn it in the streets, totally disrespecting our military! I personally think Justice Alito should leave the flag upside down because this is a sign of distress! America is in distress and maybe Americans should join him! These democrats have walked all over our constitution and the American people! Stand up America!

  15. If Trump gets reelected and God I pray he does, it's a well known fact that Bidens dictatorship policies have done DECADE'S worth of damage to this country, and will therefore take decades to correct it. Trump can only do so much in 4 year's so in parallel with completing the wall, deporting every illegal we can find and the main issues at hand, I hope he gets a select group of people that will actually go after and this time imprison every IMF that illegally went after him. Pelosi, Biden, Hillary, Maxine Waters needs to be institutionalized, and last but not least, good ole Dr. Fauchi. If I have to send in half my income to support that cause so be it. I hope all the non delusionals are with me to some degree on this. Otherwise kiss your childrens future goodbye if the democraps play their games with this election.

  16. If it was a pro-HAMAS flag HE WOULD BE PRAISED by the LOW IQ DUMBocraps!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    ABSOLUTELY Ignorant is what the DUMBocrap voters are!!!!

  17. President Biden and many Republican Governors shut down businesses and schools when the virus was spreading and killing millions.

    Trump ignored the pandemic and millions died before President Biden got us out of covid with vaccines.

    It was an unknown pandemic that scientist and infectious disease specialist were learning as they went through it trying to figure out how to protect and advice ppl. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Why are these two discussing personal opinions of no medical knowledge so against protecting ppl from dying of the disease? Stuck in 2019 Dr Fauci was not involved in a made up conspiracy. ✋🏼 with the foolishness.

  18. Found this article about SC Alito.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is embroiled in a second flag controversy in as many weeks, this time over a banner that in recent years has come to symbolize sympathies with the Christian nationalist movement and the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

    An “Appeal to Heaven” flag was flown last summer outside Alito’s beach vacation home in New Jersey, according to The New York Times, which obtained several images showing it on different dates in July and September 2023. The Times previously reported that an upside down American flag — a sign of distress — had flown outside Alito’s Alexandria, Virginia, home less than two weeks after the violent Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

    Some of the rioters carried the inverted American flag or the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which shows a green pine tree on a white field. The revelations have escalated concerns over Alito’s impartiality and his ability to objectively decide cases currently before the court that relate to the Jan. 6 attackers and Trump’s attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Alito has not commented on the flag at his summer home.

    Here is the history and current symbolism of the “Appeal to Heaven” flag.
