It’s a dream scoop for anyone. New York Times: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito posted a “Stop the Steal” symbol outside his home.
unfortunately, times And reporter Jodi Canter says there’s no real evidence in that headline. Blue Anon’s overzealous paranoia only helps.
“After the 2020 presidential election, as some Trump supporters falsely claimed that President Joe Biden stole the presidency, many of them amazing symbol “There are upside-down American flags painted outside homes, on cars, and on posts online,” Kanter, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on Harvey Weinstein, begins. her work (emphasis mine).
She continued: “One of the homes that displayed upside-down flags at the time was Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s residence in Alexandria, Virginia.”
What is left out in the cantor’s intro — and never mentioned before. 16 paragraphs later — That said, the upside-down flag is not only associated with the most extreme elements of the January 6th riot. It is simply “a symbol of emergency and distress, and was first used as an SOS by the military.” Protesters have flipped the national flag for a variety of purposes over the past century.

Again, Cantor does not acknowledge this fact until paragraph 18. Along the way, he enlisted the help of several “experts” to paint a flag in Alito’s yard as a clear and unambiguous nod to the “Stop the Steal” protests.
She quotes a University of Virginia law professor who said upside-down flags are “the equivalent of putting up a ‘Stop the Steal’ sign in your yard.” Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder say it was “actually established as a symbol of the ‘Stop the Steal’ campaign…to make it clear that you are part of this community that believes America is occupied and needs to be taken back.” It shows.”
So what, according to them, was this flag supposed to accomplish? To overturn an election? Who was supposed to be activated? No one knew about it for more than three years, except for some wealthy neighbors. If we had accepted the most basic questions that scrutinize this story, the story would have been canceled at that point. Times” Assignment desk.

And all Cantor can confirm is that a flag flew outside Alitos’ house. rear Riots on January 6th.of timesThe first photo taken by a neighbor was taken on January 17th. “In a Jan. 18 email…a neighbor wrote to a relative that the flag had been upside down for several days at that point.” Days, not weeks. There are countless stories of security being put up on high alert ahead of Biden’s inauguration, with wire fences being erected around Washington, D.C. (Alto notes) skipped Anyway), there is no reliable plan of action that the supposed “Stop the Steal” dog whistle from Alito would fit into.
The judge personally denied any political message and said his wife had flipped the flag as part of a personal dispute with a neighbor.
“I had no involvement whatsoever in raising the flag,” he wrote in an email. times. “This was temporarily installed by Mrs. Alito in response to a neighbor using offensive and derogatory language on a yard sign.”
Kantor’s interviews with neighbors of the Alito family corroborate this statement. “The judge’s wife, Martha Ann Alito, was arguing with another family on the block,” who were “holding up anti-Trump signs with expletives.”
But she continued to cast doubt on Mr. Alito and other conservative justices, and has not ruled on cases that have arisen since January 6, including Mr. Trump’s presidential immunity claim for challenging the 2020 election results. You’re implying that it’s not fair. The article concludes with former federal judge Jeremy Fogel, a California judge. left wing Mr. Alito (appointed by Democrat Bill Clinton) should step aside, and if Mr. Alito is a lower court judge, an upside-down flag outside his home would indicate “some illegal activity. “There will be some sort of review to determine whether or not it happened.”
There are only two undeniable facts in this story.
- Since January 6, an upside-down flag has flown outside Samuel Alito’s home before Biden’s inauguration.
- One of Alitos’ neighbors was holding up an offensive political sign.
Apart from these two points, everything else is speculation or unsubstantiated. Alito said his wife was responding to vulgar signs from neighbors. Cantor ignores that looking for tea leaves in the environment of the moment, that Alito was sending a bat signal (kept secret for more than three years) to the most extreme and most insurrectionist Jan. 6 rioters. was strongly hinted at. As a matter of course, Democratic Party and news organization In the world teeth run away Contains Cantor’s conspiratorial, BlueAnon-inspired interpretation.
This is because this story serves a purely predetermined narrative. The Supreme Court must be neutralized by all means possible as long as conservatives have a majority. ‘Ethics’ allegations against Clarence Thomas (former judge Vogel ready to provide opinion) Concerning comments For corporate media). continued protests (and suspected assassination attempts) in their homes; Rebroadcast of baseless criminal charges. Pack the courtroom. A lawsuit against a judge’s friend. To break this particular check on the pursuit of unlimited state power, the left will do everything it can – even fabricating a narrative that sitting judges have somehow contributed to their greatest boogeyman of all time.
