It’s hard to believe, but our nation’s “news” media considers the fact that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s wife flew the flag upside down outside their home for several days to be a much more serious issue than an attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2022. The story was quickly squashed.
Let’s start with taxpayer-funded National Public Radio, which has failed to produce a single feature on the thwarted Kavanaugh assassination attempt, but has run multiple stories on the Alito flag fiasco. They use deceptively neutral headlines like “Judicial Watch Group Concerned After Flag Flys at Judge Alito’s Home.” Let’s rephrase that as “Democratic Law Professor.”
NPR Supreme Court reporter Nina Totenberg, who tried to block the nomination of Clarence Thomas, has no concerns about Kavanaugh’s safety but did spend time reporting on Alito’s support. It was laughable that this staunch friend of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would frown on the judge’s bias.

Anyone who pays attention to politics can see that the media is toeing the Democrat line that we must discredit the conservative-majority Supreme Court. Forget their whining about Trump undermining faith in government. Whenever conservatives have a foothold, it’s “objective” reporters who undermine faith in government.

The most recent decision they disliked was the 6-3 Alito decision that found the South Carolina legislature could move a significant number of black voters from the competitive 1st Congressional District to the majority-black 6th Congressional District. The majority ruled that this was a racial gerrymander (illegal) rather than a political gerrymander (illegal).

But the decision went against the NAACP, and so it caused quite a stir. On May 23, on “All In with Chris Hayes,” the host lamented the decision and invited MSNBC’s usual extremist Ellie Meistal to invent a theory about Justice Alito’s majority opinion.
“The common thread between the Alito flag case, the Clarence Thomas coup case, and their wives and what we saw today at the Supreme Court with this redistricting decision is that they don’t want black votes to be counted equally,” Hayes said.
As for Justice Thomas, forget that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s husband is white; that would just make you a traitor if you’re a conservative. “I mean, he didn’t marry Ginny Thomas for no reason. Like, as if he thinks that.” He argued that Justice Thomas doesn’t think the 14th Amendment “can be used to protect the voting rights of black people.”
To the left, the right of blacks to vote is interpreted as the right to elect Democrats. This is not the right to vote; it is the right to be represented by Democrats. If you disagree with this principle, you are in favor of “diluting” the black vote.

In Meistal’s conspiracy theorist brain, “when people like Alito and Thomas support the insurrection, what are they saying? They’re saying Trump won. He lost the election, but he won the white vote…he won the white vote by a large margin,” he argues. They think the white vote is “the only vote that matters.”
This smearing of Alito and Thomas as racist insurrectionists is seen as MSNBC’s key legal analysis. To the left, anything that disrupts their control of the government is an “insurrection,” which is why they try to link any conservative to the January 6th insurrection as much as possible. They are people who cannot tolerate dissent or an actual democracy where conservatives disrupt their dreams of total control.
