I mention all this because I am flabbergasted that any member of the U.S. Supreme Court — or their significant other — could have even the slightest doubt about the importance of neutrality. Yet that seems to be the case with Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. Outside his home in Alexandria, Virginia, an upside-down American flag, a symbol of the “Stop the Steal” protest, was flown for some undetermined period of time. First, it seeks to casually justify an act of pettiness, a behavior ill-suited for a justice on the highest court in the land. Judges aren’t supposed to be like that. Supreme Court employees aren’t even supposed to display bumper stickers on the back of their cars.
