#Durbin is a #Dick who also failed to hold #SamuelAlito responsible for flying an #upsideDownFlag. Instead, he put his defeatist attitude on display for all of us to see

Found this gem in the neighborhood. They moved in during the last year.

#Alito said the conflict prompted a #Trump “Stop the Steal” #UpsideDownFlag

“The clash between the wife of a conservative #SCOTUS justice & a couple…in their 30s & liberal…played out over months….the…shouting match…at the height of tensions over the #2020election…might have happened in any mixed political community in America.”

Inside the Clash That Prompted the Alitos’ Upside-Down Flag

Inside the escalating conflict on a bucolic suburban street that Justice Alito said prompted a “Stop the Steal” symbol at his home.

The New York Times

“As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused,” #Alito wrote in the letter to Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) & Dick Durbin (D-IL).

The #UpsideDownFlag … has become a symbol of the “Stop the Steal” movement that falsely claims the #2020election was stolen from #Trump.

In a letter to #Democrat ldrs in the #House & #Senate, #Alito said that flag & a 2nd, #religious-themed flag were raised by his wife, w/o his knowledge, & the incidents do not meet the conditions for #recusal outlined in #SCOTUS’s code of conduct.

Alito disclosed for the 1st time that he was not aware of the #UpsideDownFlag until it was called to his attention & that his wife resisted taking it down.

Alito is betting the story of #upsideDownFlag (and a 2nd controversial flag ) will simply slide down… the memory hole.

That wouldn’t happen IF Senate #Democrats RAISED HELL and DEMANDED #Alito appear at a hearing, but, as we know, Dems don’t do courage

“I don’t think there’s much to be gained with a hearing at this point,” said Judiciary Committee chairman Dick #Durbin

What a dick! Imagine #GOP response if #Sotomayor had flied that kind of flag
