Clarence Thomas does too but that is another post for another day. It was recently reported that an upside-down US flag was flown in front of Alito's house for several days before the January 6 insurrection. An upside-down flag is commonly seen as an "SOS" signal and was also widely carried by the January 6 insurrectionists. He blamed it on his wife having a dispute with neighbors. Well today it was reported that just this past summer here at his summer house on Long Beach Island that an "Appeal to Heaven" flag flew for many days over the course of 2 different months. That flag is used by Jan 6 MAGA nuts to put a religious spin on "stop the steal" (narrator: there was no steal) and to push the US government into more Christian ideas. That is completely unacceptable for a US Supreme Court Justice to be weighing in on politics like that. Not once but multiple times. Did he not learn from the outrage about his fellow Justice Clarence Thomas' issues with wife Ginni Thomas being involved in January 6 and the backlash about him receiving luxury gifts and trips? Alito *won't* resign of course because we have a Democrat president who would nominate his successor. He will hang in there with the hope that Trump will win in November. This behavior is shameful, though, and further demonstrates that the US Supreme Court needs a solid code of ethics. You'd think that he would know better.

For the Philippines, an upside down flag means that it is currently at war. When it is positioned correctly, it means that it is at peace.
