He blamed it on his wife. Coward.
he is right , I am surprised Joe Biden didn't start arresting him and others for there fascist movement. Law and order is taking a long time to bring justice from Jan 6th... I am afraid it is not coming.
Looks like he will be sleeping on the couch this weekend 😂
Shut up. This means alit from the peanut gallery who says don't judge others as they judge others. Drop the politics and try to think for yourself.
@@pete3882 But he did blame his wife. What are you objecting to?
The Justices Stands with our Magnificent President Trump 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Alito and Thomas should be removed. This democracy is under attack.
🎯 💯💯💯
Our democracy is founded on the rule of law. The rule of law itself -- as Judge Marchan himself said -- is under attack, by what used to be the Republican Party.
The poisonous ebony and ivory duo of the SCOTUS.
I wish one of these news reports would let us know if there's anything we can do that would get them removed.
@@cybele_mullejzvoting blue will be the continued destruction of America. Biden is the worst president, a pedophile and has sold out America.
Put him on trial for treason, and put him jail. LOCK HIM UP. HE IS A TRAITOR.
Absolutely.
👍 💯
Exactly!!
I don't think lock him up, but yes he's a traitor on the court.
Why could he be locked up for treason?
Alito is a traitor and should be expelled now!
So he's saying he's not a scumbag his wife is
No, he's a scumbag too
basically
You cant attack the man, so you go after the opinions of his wife, and you think youre still the good guys?
He's saying y'all know who in the middle of the night pulled magic tricks

@@_GeneralMechanics_ BULLSHIT !
We the people of good will must and I repeat must use our power to do something about Alito, Kavanaugh, Roberts and Thomas unethical behavior, and the only sure way to do it, is to blanket the entire USA by voting "BLUE" with the hope that all blue candidates win, and are willing to hold The SCOTUS accountable through new legislation or by any means legally necessary. "This should be a priority".
This justice needs to be removed from the SCOTUS, along with others!
So you teachers can dance in a pre school with boobs and a penis and pink hair and drive all the youngsters to the tour the clinic to show how to terminate a pregnancy. Make America Great Again!! Trump 24’
There's no way to remove scouts justices unfortunately. Thomas needs to go too but as I said there's no way because they're appointed for life, or as long as they wish to serve.
Yes, Democrats would love to take his freedom of speech away. THAT'S WHAT THEY DO...

The explanation was classic BS. Flying an American flag upside down because of a neighbors insulting words on a sign? Really??????????????
Alito thinks the public is stupid to believe his lies. What can DOJ, or the country do about this? He is an angry and corrupt SC judge.
American democracy will die in the hands of the Supreme Court!!
Completely inappropriate to fly our flag upside down for any reason. Just don’t fly one at all.
Dems would prefer a rainbow flag
Actually, it's supposed to be a symbol of distress/alarm when upside down...that's why they (MAGA) did it, about Biden taking over, and their Coup failed to stop that!

I lost faith in the Supreme Court being impartial a while ago.
👍 Years ago!
I lost my faith in them in 2000 when they stopped the recount in Florida and awarded the election to Bush. They showed that they were partisan then and they are showing they are very partisan now by delaying Trump's cases until after the election.
Who cares?
@@frankfeng4728 I care, and every other United States citizen should care. If the court is going to be political then they should have to campaign for office and be elected just like every other politician. The Constitution gave the Supreme Court lifetime appointments so that they wouldn't have to be political and would just concentrate on legality and the constitution. This court is doing the opposite of what the Constitution intended, and therefore cannot work for we the people.
@@StevenC32 A lifetime job is a lifetime job. Why care if there isn't much you can do? Posing a couple of comments won't change a thing.
What is happening with the Supreme Court judges? First Thomas and now Alito. How can they be impartial with their decisions?
Alito led the way with his Dobbs decision. Because 1600s English Matthew Hale speaks for modern American women. 🤬😡
What do the regular people do when courts are clearly political. What is happening in America when minority rules
We see that everywhere. The lgbtqrstlihdddgb
Unbelievable a judge's 'reasoning' on America's highest court...sad for America...
"Reasoning?" They can't even identify a woman.
This is one of the many reasons why I think SCOTUS should not be a lifetime appointment, but a single term of no more than 20 years tops.
How about the Judge Engeron in Case with trum being investigated i by Commission . Look it up snowflakes who believe Tell lie Vision MSM of Deception you don’t Understand yet You might soon
Lol you people don’t have understanding ! Search out matter you never Trumpers are way too Bias. Wait till y’all find out how ignorant Y’all are on this Issue
For Dobbs Alito as if to be waving a middle finger at all women, cited Sir Mathew Hale, a 17th century jurist who a) regarded women as property of their husbands or fathers; b) did not believe there could be anything approaching spousal rape; c) that women are prone to witchcraft among other things. This is who Alito referenced as support for the Dobbs majority opinion!
Not that I'm into that patriotic crap but this is highly inappropriate for a top federal judge.
Actually doing that is very UNPatriotic.
Grow up
Ya think?!!! This is a treasonous act, and one worthy of immediate impeachment charges.
America is screwed without patriotism. Hopefully, you're not an American.
It's highly inappropriate for anyone, let alone a Supreme Court Justice.
this from a supreme court justice ???...sad for America...impeach him...
How can we expect these people to enforce the law when they have so much trouble following it?
Alito is so belligerent! He should resign now! That upside-down flag has always been a sign that America is in distress and it is because of people like Alito!
Agreed 100%
Cry some more 😂🤣😂
It IS in distress
Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, he flew the upside down, America is in distress flag because of the events of January 6th?
@@ScottCleve33 No, because he would have said so instead of blaming his wife.

When are the Supreme Court justices going to stop using their wives as excuses for unacceptable behavior?

They don’t e a crap about their wives. They use them as a shield. Jeez, the HATE women and only want to control them. I mean 👀 at the laws they’re passing. Pure trash. Give these monsters term limits ALL OF THEM!

Must be limits on age and time serving. This is obviously objectionable!
Can someone explain to a European, why Alito can not be impeached. I thought nobody is above the law.
Any judge can be impeached. Why do you think Alito can’t?
to impeach and remove a Supreme Court Justice it would require 2/3 vote by the senate(66 votes), and currently Republicans hold 50 seats out of 100.. They won't impeach, bc then Biden would be able to pick a liberal-friendly judge to replace him.
Because we don't want him impeached😂
He absolutely COULD be impeached. It would take a majority vote in the U.S. House of Representatives, where Republicans are currently in the majority. But to be removed, he would have to be convicted by a 2/3 vote in the U.S. Senate, an almost impossible bar.

A low level Federal employee could be fired for flying the flag upside down at his home in protest. But a Judge on the Court suffers no repercussions. That's the definition and illustration of above the law. The wife did it is the same as saying the dog ate it.
We don't want this kind of a so-called patriot in our country let alone on the supreme court.
Alito is trash
Alito is the same IDIOT that used the reasoning of an English judge from the 1600;s most famous for his rulings in WITCH TRIALS, to justify his decision to rob women of their right to control their own bodies. I can't wait to see how he justifies giving Trump Presidential immunity to commit any crimes he can think of while he was in office. As Sotomayor stated, giving Trump complete immunity would turn the office of the President into the center of a CRIMINAL enterprise. In short... Alito BAD but he doesn't care... he is daring everyone to do something about his behavior on the bench because he thinks he is immune from criticism based on his lifetime appointment. Essentially giving all American citizens the middle finger.
🎯 FASCIST TRAITOR! 💯
Quit insulting trash like that.
He's a Judge, and the flag is upside down, which once meant something completely different, only this Tool with his position, placing this upside down and them playing dumb. 'Oh, it was my wife', Really What a disgraceful action, honestly your entire system only seems to work for a select few, which is even more outrageous.

Now I believe Alito invented the original "The dog ate my homework" when he was in elementary school.

To be fair, the upside down flag is a pre-existing flag positioning for times of danger and situations of conflict. However, the key facts to Alito's complicity is timing. It came at a time when sore losers were abusing the symbol and at a time when any reasonable focus of danger had passed.
