Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another Alito Home

The justice’s beach house displayed an “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a symbol carried on Jan. 6 and associated with a push for a more Christian-minded government.

"Now it turns out that a flag representing the idea that the 2020 election was stolen, that the people should engage in armed revolution against tyranny, and that the United States should be a nation based in Christian theology has been flying over the home of Justice Alito, who is supposed to be defending the United States Constitution impartially."

"Alito wrote the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that recognized the constitutional right to abortion.

Election columnist Laura Bassett of The Cut wrote: 'The [A]lito flag story does not teach me anything new about his politics but it does reveal how confident he is that nobody can do anything about him.'”

"The Appeal to Heaven flag the Alitos flew 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.' …

It's perfect for carrying to your next insurrection, just like rioters did on January 6, 2021."

"The Pine Tree flag represents a MAGA trifecta: Support for Trump, insurrection, and Christian nationalism."

"The flag, which shows a single pine tree below the slogan “Appeal to Heaven,” dates to the American Revolution, but in recent years has been used by right-wing Christians associated with the 'New Apostolic Reformation' as a symbol of their efforts to turn this country into a theocracy, where all laws would be Biblically based."
