Controversy over Martha-Ann Alito's Response to Flag Criticism
Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, expressed a desire to retaliate against those who criticized them for flying politically affiliated flags at their homes. She mentioned plans to fly a 'Sacred Heart of Jesus' flag in protest of an LGBTQ pride flag and designed her own flag with the word 'vergogna' (shame). Justice Alito agreed with the idea of the U.S. being a Christian nation and acknowledged the court's political nature.
