The Mainstream Media and Democrats, but that’s just one in the same, have no intention of leaving conservative Supreme Court Justices alone. Today’s target? Judge Alito’s vacation house.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s New Jersey beach house had an “Appeal to Heaven” flag flying outside of it last summer.
This was two years after Alito’s main residence in the DC area had an inverted flag flying outside of it.

Last summer, two years after an upside-down American flag was flown outside the Virginia home of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., another provocative symbol was displayed at his vacation house in New Jersey, according to interviews and photographs.
This time, it was the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which, like the inverted U.S. flag, was carried by rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it dates back to the Revolutionary War, but largely fell into obscurity until recent years and is now a symbol of support for former President Donald J. Trump, for a religious strand of the “Stop the Steal” campaign and for a push to remake American government in Christian terms.
Three photographs obtained by The New York Times, along with accounts from a half-dozen neighbors and passers-by, show that the Appeal to Heaven flag was aloft at the Alito home on Long Beach Island in July and September of 2023. A Google street view image from late August also shows the flag.
Holy sh*t. This flag that has existed for 250 years and been flown by thousands of people for two and a half centuries was also flown at Samuel Alito’s beach house. I am shocked. Once I figure out why this is even the slightest bit of a scandal I will be extremely outraged! https://t.co/tVoFFmGLBV

If it is anything to do with a conservative Justice, it must be made a scandal of the highest order.

The Left has no problem with the flag of an actual terrorist group that is still holding American hostages.

Chris Hayes is crying into his sweater again.
Justice Alito: Flies a Revolutionary War flag outside his beach house.
Liberals: “This is outrageous! Kick him off the Supreme Court.”
Judge Merchan: Donated to Joe Biden and has a daughter raising money for Democrats.
Liberals: “It’s perfectly fine that he’s presiding over…

Per usual, the Left expects the Right to live by a whole different set of rules.
These Alito stories about flags and symbols that predate Jan. 6 by centuries are so funny. All I can think of is that one “Boss Baby” tweet. pic.twitter.com/vhKu8gSRSc

You can just feel Kristol posting this after he awkwardly lowered the same flag from his front yard. https://t.co/1hUusIKxXg

Damn I can’t believe HBO’s John Adams decided to put such a fringe hate symbol in its opening sequence https://t.co/UUt2CHdJFq pic.twitter.com/sj6ntaQc3g

After dealing with the Left, who can blame anyone for ‘appealing to Heaven’?
