Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s refusal to recuse himself from cases involving former President Trump’s alleged election interference has引发伦理争论。参议院少数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔指责民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔和谢尔顿·怀特豪斯违反道德准则，要求将此问题提交法庭。麦康奈尔认为，这两位参议员通过信件与最高法院进行私下沟通，违反了美国律师协会的职业行为准则。他暗示，这样的行为可能构成“不当行为”，甚至可能受到纪律处分。
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has defended his decision to fly an upside-down American flag outside his home and an “Appeal to Heaven” flag at a vacation home, while also menolak calls for his recusal from cases related to the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6 Capitol protests.
In letters to lawmakers, Alito explained that he had no involvement in the flying of the upside-down flag and that his wife was responsible for the “Appeal to Heaven” flag. He also emphasized that the flags do not represent his views and that he believes he can remain impartial in cases related to the 2020 election and Jan. 6 events.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is facing pressure to ensure that Justice Samuel Alito recuses himself from any 2020 election-related cases following controversy over flags flown at his two homes around the time of the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Lawmakers, including Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin and Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts Sheldon Whitehouse, have written a letter to Roberts, arguing that Alito’s actions have compromised his impartiality. The letter cites the display of an upside-down American flag and an “Appeal to Heaven” flag at Alito’s homes, claiming that these acts constitute political activity and raise doubts about his ability to fairly discharge his duties in election-related cases. The controversy has sparked calls from some progressive Democrats to expand the Supreme Court to prevent the influence of conservative justices like Alito.
