It sure would be comical if Samuel Alito had recently published an opinion in which he expressed strong feelings about flags and wrote that passersby viewing a flag flying over a building would naturally assume the flag conveys some message on the owner's behalf

Wouldn't that risk making it harder to take him seriously as a jurist? Surely he wouldn't be that foolish...

<sigh> And you all think Mr. Alito should have a consistent view.

You see, Alito telling his wife not to fly insurrectionist flags at their home because of their insurrectionist meaning would be impermissible viewpoint discrimination

Wait, he says in screenshot two that because it was a public forum the city disclaimed all meaning from the flags flown. It’s a fun dunk but not sure how much work it does here. Moreover, Alito should be impeached.

He just didn't say that maybe it's about leprechauns and pots of gold.

He clearly follows the age-old proverb of: Do as I decree, not as my wife does.

But, then he would actually have to be a moral being who means things when he says them.

I mean, could you imagine if any sitting politician's spouse was flying a Chinese flag? Or a Black Lives Matter" flag? Or kneeling during the national anthem instead of standing? But flying it upside down in support of an (ongoing) insurrection still being actively prosecuted is no biggie.
