   Good Lord. The Washington Post blew this, choosing not to report on the Alitos' (plural) flag at the time, dredging it up now, masking the failure amid background paragraphs. Democracy dies in terrible, irresponsible, credulous, complicit news judgment. Shame.

   Wife of Justice Alito called upside-down flag ‘signal of distress’ https://wapo.st/4dS1BCf

     @jeffjarvis I am almost glad the Alitos were flying those flags because it helps to out them.

     I would rather Alito or Thomas's insurrectionist views be known to the American public than have them hidden and maintain the pretense that SCOTUS is anything more than another body dominated by political hacks.

     Let us pay back the Roberts Court for the scorn they have for democracy by treating them with the contempt they deserve. They will not earn our respect until they clean house.
