      Are you aware that the Alito and Thomas dissent is full of false claims about the yuge amount of election fraud in the country?

      On this case they’re voting with the president against our democracy.

        Yeah, I’m just making a round about way of saying I’m not surprised; they dissent on everything that should be a no brainier

      Alito flew this flag at his vacation home

      The Appeal to Heaven Flag has been used by Christian nationalists in the United States since 2013. The origins of the Appeal to Heaven flag as an emblem of the Christian nationalist movement in the United States trace to 2013, when Pentecostal cleric Dutch Sheets received the flag as a gift and prophesied that it would be the “symbol of a campaign to restore America to the Christian nation God intended.” The flag was given to governor of Alaska Sarah Palin, who advocated for the Appeal to Heaven Flag to be flown “over courthouses and statehouses.” In the 2020s, the flag was flown at events attended by various Christian right and far-right groups including a Christian nationalist strand of Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” movement. In particular, the flag was carried by several of the US Capitol rioters on January 6, 2021.
