Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito will not tolerate intimidation from the left.
“The two incidents you cite do not warrant resignation. As I have stated publicly, I had no involvement in raising the flag, and I was not even aware of the existence of an upside-down flag until it was pointed out to me,” Alito wrote in the letter.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said in a letter to lawmakers on Wednesday that he will not recuse himself from cases involving the 2020 presidential election or the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, despite concerns about two controversial flags flying on his property.
“The two cases you cite do not meet the conditions for judicial recusal,” Justice Alito wrote in a letter circulated by the Supreme Court. “As I have stated publicly, I had no involvement in raising that flag. I was not even aware that the flag was upside down until it was pointed out to me.”
The letter was a highly unusual response, highlighting how the flag revelations have dogged Justice Alito for days. Supreme Court justices rarely debate with lawmakers, and many of them have not explained why they are or aren’t resigning.
The Supreme Court is hearing key cases related to the 2020 election and the storming of the U.S. Capitol. In one case, the justices are considering former President Donald Trump’s claim of absolute immunity from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of election interference charges. In another case, a January 6 rioter is challenging the obstruction charges brought against him by prosecutors, and Congress is arguing that the law should apply to people who destroy evidence, not those who stormed the government building.
Donald Trump praised Alito for not recusing himself.
I congratulate US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for showing the intelligence, courage and “guts” to refuse to back down from his position in deciding January 6th. Every judge, justice and leader in the US should have that grit. If we did that, we would be much better off than we are now, a terribly failing nation led by the worst president in US history, the villainous Joe Biden.
