Justice Alito Faces Calls to Recuse Himself from 2020 Election Cases

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is under fire from Democrats following a report that an upside-down American flag was flown outside his home shortly after the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The "New York Times" published a photo taken by a neighbor of the flag at Alito's residence in Alexandria, Virginia, just days after a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol. The upside-down flag, often seen as a distress signal, has also been associated with former President Donald Trump's unfounded claims that President Joe Biden stole the 2020 election.
