Second flag carried by Jan. 6 rioters displayed outside house owned by Justice Alito, report says
==========
A second flag of a type carried by rioters during the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was displayed outside a house owned by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. The flag, known as the 'Appeal to Heaven' flag, was flown outside Alito's beach vacation home last summer. An inverted American flag, another symbol carried by rioters, was displayed at Alito's home outside Washington less than two weeks after the attack on the Capitol. Alito and the court declined to respond to requests for comment on how the 'Appeal to Heaven' flag came to be flying and what it was intended to express. The flag dates back to the Revolutionary War but has become associated with Christian nationalism and support for Trump. News of the second flag has led to renewed calls for Alito to recuse himself from cases related to Trump and the 2020 election. There has been no indication that Alito will step aside from the cases.
