The article discusses the controversy surrounding Justice Samuel Alito and calls for his recusal from cases involving Donald Trump and the 2020 election due to an incident involving an upside-down flag outside his home. However, the article argues that Justice Alito is not obligated to recuse himself because the law only requires recusal if a family member is directly involved in a case or if the judge's impartiality can reasonably be questioned. The article cites examples of other judges, such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Nina Pillard, who did not recuse themselves from cases despite their own political views or their spouses' involvement in related organizations. The article concludes by suggesting that the left's calls for recusal are motivated by a desire for power rather than ethical concerns. [Extracted from the article]
