actionnetwork.orgTell Congress: Impeach Justice Alito Now Justice Samuel Alito should be impeached.
The reasons are really quite straightforward. First, we learn that in January 2021, between the violent assault on the Capitol and the inauguration of President Biden, Alito flew an upside down American flag outside his house, as carried by the insurrectionists who breached the Capitol.
Next we learn that two years later, another flag flew at another of Alito’s homes. Like the inverted US flag, this one, known as the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, was also carried by the violent mob at the Capitol on January 6th.
But the Appeal to Heaven flag is even worse for a Supreme Court justice to fly for one simple reason: as a symbol of Christian nationalism, it indicates a belief that the law of the land is not the Constitution, but the law of God as they interpret it.
Now the Supreme Court is considering cases related to January 6th, including whether President Trump should be immune from prosecution for his actions that day.
According to the Supreme Court’s new (even if completely non-binding) Code of Ethics, “A Justice should disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the Justice’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”
How can Alito pretend to judge these questions fairly? He can’t.
Far from being an impartial jurist, Alito has shown flagrant support of Trump’s cynically named efforts to “Stop the Steal”. The code of ethics requires recusal, but Alito is not required to follow the code of ethics.
The future of American democracy can not be placed in the hands of a Justice who supports those who want to destroy it.
If Alito recused himself from cases related to January 6th, the 2020 election, or Donald Trump, this wouldn't be necessary. But he won't, so Congress must act.
