#Alito told the Times that his wife flew an upside-down American flag in mid-January as a response to an intense argument with a neighbor. Turns out, this argument happened a month after the flag was hoisted.
There are some differences: For instance, the alito told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden's insult. A text message and the police call - corroborated by Fairfax County authorities - indicate, however, that the name- calling took place on Feb. 15, WEEKS after the inverted flag was taken down.
A judge should recuse themselves if there's an objective probability of actual bias. This means that if a reasonable person, knowing all the facts, would doubt the judge's ability to be impartial, recusal is required. If there's a strong indication of bias, they should step aside. It's about ensuring fairness and maintaining public trust in the judicial system. 28 U.S. Code § 455.
