Appealing to heaven is “provocative,” says The New York Times.
The Times reported Wednesday that—gasp—Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flew an “Appeal to Heaven” flag last year at his vacation home in New Jersey.
“Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another Alito Home,” reads the Times’ headline.
The story comes on the heels of a media-concocted “scandal” revealing that Alito flew an upside-down flag outside his house for a few days in early 2021.
We are led to believe that the first incident means that Alito is a violent, insurrectionist supporter of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot or something.
Alito said that the upside-down flag stemmed from a dispute between his wife and neighbors over yard signs.
An upside-down flag is a traditional sign of national or personal distress. I can think of countless reasons to use that symbol in 2021….
