U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has been criticized for raising two controversial flags in front of his homes: an upside-down American flag outside his home in Virginia, and a ‘An Appeal to Heaven’ pine tree flag outside his beach house in New Jersey. Both flags have been associated with the Stop the Steal movement and were seen being carried by rioters at the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The conservative publication National Review announced today that it is selling “Alito Flags.” One flag is similar to the inverted American flag, but an image of Alito — in his SCOTUS Justice robe — replaces the white stars. The other flag is yellow with the words “Appeal to Law” on the top with an image of Alito in his Justice robe, a pine tree, and a baseball below.
Democrats have gone too far with their attacks on the Supreme Court and it’s time to take a stand.

Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is the 2022 landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in which the court held that the Constitution of the United States does not confer a right to abortion. The majority decision was written by Alito.
