The revelation that pro-Trump, "Stop the Steal" flags were flown outside Justice Samuel Alito's homes raises serious ethical concerns and undermines public trust in the impartiality of the Supreme Court. This apparent open support for efforts to overturn the 2020 election results calls into question Alito's ability to fairly adjudicate cases related to the January 6th insurrection and threats to democracy. A full congressional investigation is warranted to uncover the extent of Alito's partisan activities and connections to the "Stop the Steal" movement. The Senate Judiciary Committee should exercise its oversight role by holding public hearings to shine a light on this matter and take steps to uphold judicial ethics and the integrity of the nation's highest court. Alito's misconduct strikes at the heart of the democratic process and cannot be ignored if faith in the rule of law is to be preserved. Thorough scrutiny is essential to ensure accountability and maintain public confidence in the Supreme Court as an independent, unbiased institution.
