Complicit John Roberts Sides With Alito, Refuses Meeting With Judiciary Senators

After Justice Samuel Alito was caught with not one but two flags signaling alliance with Donald Trump’s attempted coup, Alito responded like any MAGA acolyte would: by denying the obvious and playing the victim. In this case, he blamed his neighbors and his wife and ridiculously claimed he is “duty-bound” not to succumb to “political” calls for him to recuse himself from Jan. 6-related cases.

Chief Justice John Roberts is not only fine with that, he is protecting Alito. Even though there are good reasons to believe Alito lied about the circumstances surrounding "his wife's" Stop the Steal-supporting flag while election-related cases were pending before the Supreme Court.
