The chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday urged Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from considering cases related to the 2020 election, including the question of former President Donald Trump’s immunity from criminal prosecution, because of controversy over an upside-down U.S. flag that flew outside Alito’s home after the election.
Sen. Dick Durbin suggested that Alito was adding to ethical concerns about the court after The New York Times report on Thursday revealed that the flag was displayed in that manner outside his Virginia home.
“Flying an upside-down American flag — a symbol of the so-called ‘Stop the Steal’ movement — clearly creates the appearance of bias,” said Durbin, the Illinois Democrat who heads the Judiciary Committee.
“Justice Alito should recuse himself immediately from cases related to the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection, including the question of the former President’s immunity in U.S. v. Donald Trump, which the Supreme Court is currently considering,” Durbin said in a statement.
“The Court is in an ethical crisis of its own making, and Justice Alito and the rest of the Court should be doing everything in their power to regain public trust.”
