Joyce Vance responded to the controversy surrounding Justice Alito hanging an upside-down U.S. flag outside his home.
Justice Samuel Alito's flag scandal is inflicting a 'fatal blow' in terms of people's confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court, an attorney has said.Writing in her blog Civil Discourse, Joyce Vance, a former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama called Alito's behavior 'outrageous,' following reports he hung an upside-down U.S. flag outside his house following the 2020 election.
But, as the Times reported the flag has been used by conservatives in recent years, including by some Trump supporters during the January 6 riot.Vance described it as 'outrageous behavior for a judge' and said that allowing him to remain on Trump's presidential immunity hearing showed 'there is no shame in the court.''When you're a Supreme Court justice, you're supposed to avoid giving off even a whiff of partisan bias. Or religious favoritism.
