ALITO HAS DISQUALIFIED HIMSELF FROM SERVING ON SUPREME COURT

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (May 16, 2024) – Following a report in the New York Times exposing Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for displaying an upside-down flag — a symbol adopted by 2020 election deniers — at his home as he considered a case related to the 2020 election, Take Back the Court Action Fund released the following statement on behalf of its president, Sarah Lipton-Lubet:

“Sam Alito has disqualified himself from legitimate service on the Supreme Court. It’s hard to imagine a more blatant f-you to the American public than proudly displaying a vestige of a failed coup attempt on the country you’re supposed to serve right on your front lawn. If the wife of one sitting Supreme Court justice helping incite an insurrection wasn't enough for Congress to issue subpoenas to these extremists, perhaps another sitting justice proudly displaying memorabilia from that insurrection will be."
