‘It’s a Very Clear Conflict of Interest’: Raskin on Upside-Down American Flag at Justice Alito’s House After Jan. 6 Inverted

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
CAPEHART: “Your reaction to this story and Justice Alito’s response.”
RASKIN: “Justice Alito’s response makes it clear he understands that it was a political symbol to turn the American flag upside down. It’s a universal symbol of political distress and in this case of specific opposition to the inauguration of Joe Biden. It’s what the MAGA right was calling for. If it were not a very clear political symbol whose meaning was well understood Justice Alito would not have gone through great pains to blame everything on his wife. The U.S. Supreme Court is the only court in the federal judiciary and the land that does not have a binding ethics code where you can actually go and complain to some tribunal about what’s happening. What we need is to have at the very least an ethics panel of federal circuit judges from around the country who we can bring complaints to of bias in the very likely event that Justice Alito does not decide to heed the calls to recuse himself from this case. It’s a very clear conflict of interest.”
