Alito Refuses To Recuse Himself On J6 Cases - Because His Wife Has Rights!

If Justice Samuel Alito had any real scruples, he’d have immediately recused himself from any case related to January 6th long before he was outed as having two pro-coup flags flying at his homes, one while 2020 election cases were pending.

Instead, we got a load of excuses and wife-blaming in a response to Democratic senators’ request that he recuse himself from two January 6-related cases pending at the Supreme Court:

As I have stated publicly, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of that flag. I was not even aware of the upside- down flag until it was called to my attention. As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused.

My wife and I own our Virginia home jointly. She therefore has the legal right to use the property as she sees fit, and there were no additional steps that I could have taken to have the flag taken down more promptly.

…

My wife is a private citizen, and she possesses the same First Amendment rights as every other American. She makes her own decisions, and I have always respected her right to do so.

If Alito thinks he has no right or ability to control his wife’s biased flag-flying at his house, why does he think he has the right and ability to tell other women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies?
