Justice Alito refused to recuse himself from J6 cases over the latest cockamamie narrative from the left.

Here’s the letter:
Background from CBS News:
Justice Samuel Alito is flatly rejecting calls to recuse himself in two cases before the Supreme Court involving former President Donald Trump because of two flags that flew outside his homes.
In letters Wednesday to House and Senate Democrats, Alito said he had nothing to do with the flying of the flags, and that nothing about the incidents merited recusal under the Supreme Court’s code of conduct. In addition, he says, neither he nor his wife knew of the meanings that are now being ascribed to the flags.
“A reasonable person who is not motivated by political or ideological considerations or a desire to affect the outcome of Supreme Court cases would conclude that this event does not meet the applicable standard for recusal,” Alito wrote in the letters to Democrats. “I am therefore duty-bound to reject your recusal request.”
Democrats had seized on New York Times reports that an upside-down American flag had flown outside the Alitos’ Virginia home and a separate “Appeal to Heaven” flag had flown outside his vacation home. They argued the two incidents create an appearance of impropriety that require Alito recuse himself from any matters related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot or the 2020 election.
Of course, San Francisco quickly removed the patriotic “Appeal to Heaven” flag that it’s been flying outside of its Civic Center for decades.
You know that extremely controversial Appeal to Heaven flag that’s been the subject of media smears against Justice Alito?
It also flew outside of San Francisco’s Civic Center for decades.
Until last weekend when it was mysteriously removed. pic.twitter.com/GeHNmQklmx
