Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), a member of the House Oversight Committee, believes Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito should step down from his position. This comes after reports that an upside-down American flag was seen at Alito’s house in January 2021.
The upside-down flag is linked to the “Stop the Steal” movement, which falsely claimed that Joe Biden stole the 2020 presidential election. The flag appeared at Alito’s home shortly after the Capitol riot in early 2021. Alito said his wife put up the flag during a disagreement with a neighbor over some signs.
“Justice Samuel Alito should resign from the Supreme Court or at least step aside from cases about presidential immunity, election interference, and January 6th. Clarence Thomas should do the same,” Garcia stated in a recent post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Garcia mentioned that a significant dispute about presidential immunity is currently before Alito’s court. Trump is arguing that his presidential actions should protect him from a major criminal case related to the 2020 election. Trump claims his actions were part of his official duties, including his efforts to overturn the election results and accusations of fraud. If Trump’s argument succeeded, it would have invalidated millions of votes.
