The US flag at Alito's home was hung up upside down, a symbol of belief in Trump's discredited claim of the 2020 election being stolen.

Alito blamed his wife, the new 'my dog ate my homework'.

But part of the job of a SCOTUS judge is to guard the Court's reputation of impartiality, true or not.

To maintain the public's trust in SCOTUS's impartiality, it means no political displays and it means recusing in cases before the Supreme Court where the public reasonably suspects bias or one-sided investment.

This is a job that mandates some restrictions on freedoms guaranteed to ordinary people.
