How reciting the Pledge of Allegiance became a sacred, patriotic ritual

Not all Americans were enthusiastic about the pledge. The most common complaints were religious. For instance, followers of traditions with strong pacifist commitments opposed reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. They objected to the implication that defending the flag would mean resorting to violence in violation of their religious beliefs. Others regarded the Pledge of Allegiance as a form of "idol worship."

Neighbors say judge, wife used security detail car to intimidate them

"This happened a handful of times," Baden now recalls. "I took that as directly threatening." Baden and her husband both say that the security detail's car showed up in front of her mother's house again two weeks ago, after the New York Times broke the story about an upside-down American flag hanging on the Alitos' flagpole in the days before Biden's inauguration – a symbol associated with the January 6 insurrection that sought to prevent Biden from taking office at all.

Supreme Court Justice Alito’s House Displayed a ‘Stop the Steal’ Flag After Jan. 6 - The New York Times

This spring, the justices are already laboring under suspicion by many Americans that whatever decisions they make about the Jan. 6 cases will be partisan. Justice Clarence Thomas has declined to recuse himself despite the direct involvement of his wife, Virginia Thomas, in efforts to overturn the election. 

Now, with decisions in the Jan. 6 cases expected in just a few weeks, a similar debate may unfurl about Justice Alito, the ethics experts said. "It really is a question of appearances and the potential impact on public confidence in the court," Mr. Fogel said. "I think it would be better for the court if he weren't involved in cases arising from the 2020 election. But I'm pretty certain that he will see that differently."…
