Creative! Queer!! Autistic!!!<p>“Wemple points his finger at the real reason for keeping the flag story dark: deference to power:</p><p>The Alitos received deference to which they were not entitled. Though Justice Alito’s claim that the upside-down flag was flown “in response” to yard signs might be genuine, it’s a stretch. For one, [neighbor Emily] Baden told me in an interview that she never even saw this alleged “response.” Plus — inverting the flag commonly expresses concerns more global than some handmade, glitter-sprayed, cursive sign down the street. “My involvement begins and ends with putting a sign in my yard that says, ‘F--- Trump’ that they used as a scapegoat” for their display. “I just want to say that’s absolutely ridiculous and everybody knows it,” said Baden.</p><p>No one from The Post contacted Baden, she says, until after the Times’s May 16 story was published.

Dick Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse’s letter from last week calling on his recusal:</p><p> “As I have stated publicly, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of that flag. I was not even aware of the upside-down flag until it was called to my attention.” Alito, who served in the military, wants you to believe that he did not notice an upside-down flag flying in front of his home.</p><p> “As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused.” Come off it.</p><p> “My wife and I own our Virginia home jointly. She therefore has the legal right to use the property as she sees fit, and there were no additional steps that I could have taken to have the flag taken down more promptly.” Is he describing a landlord-tenant relationship, or his family? Beyond that, this was a Supreme Court justice in January 2021, as the Twenty-Fifth Amendment was being discussed, impeachment was being pursued, and fences were being erected, but this man decided not to push whether there was an upside-down flag flying in front of his home? This honestly is as distressing an admission to me as anything Alito has said throughout this scandal.
