ABC's Mara V rol on the ground in Texas for us Maria thank you we turn next tonight to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alo Under Fire after an image of the American flag being flown upside down at his home for several days this is the image of the flag outside his home the image from the days after the January th attack on the capital tonight Justice Alo blaming his wife here's Terry Moran tonight Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alo embroiled in controversy after the New York Times published a photograph showing the
American flag outside alito's house flying upside down the time says the picture was taken in January just days after the January th attack on the Capal some Trump supporters that day held a loft upside down American flags as a sign of their rejection of Joe Biden's election the US flag code says the American flag should never be flown upside down except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger alita's neighbor a Carlson's remember seeing alito's flag that way in in
my mind I'm I just said there's something wrong with the flag today she saw the story in the New York Times and I said oh my god of course that what it was it was hanging upside down justice Alo one of the Court's most conservative members responded to the story and blamed his wife telling the times I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag it was briefly placed by Mrs Alo in response to a neighbor's use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs Mrs Alo has not
issued her own statement and the times did report the upside down flag flew outside their home for several days tonight the Democratic chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is calling for justice Alo to recuse himself from all cases stemming from January th that upside down flag was a symbol of the big lie the attempt to steal the election and not admit that Joe Biden was elected what in the world is it doing at the whole home of a Supreme Court Justice the court still has to decide big cases this term stemming from
January including Donald Trump's claims of absolute immunity for his actions and so that upside down flag at Justice Leo's house legal experts say creates a real appearance of conflict of interest for him and could damage The credibility of the Court David a lot of questions about this moving forward Terry thank you meantime prosecutions for the capitol riots still underway tonight the son of a prominent conservative activist sentenced to nearly four years in prison now prosecutors say Brent Bosell IV was a
