A few years ago an upside down American flag was flown at Justice Alito's home. Many rather uninformed democrats referred to it as an "Insurrection Flag".
On twitter, I was quick to point out that there is no such thing as an "insurrection flag". Flying a flag upside down was a sign of distress. I also pointed out BLM protesters doing the same thing (but worse) during the "Summer of Love" protests as shown below:
These BLM Protesters viewed the death of George Floyd as a form of distress, so at least these people knew what it meant (Albeit, burning the flag and writing on the flag was going to extremes). Liberals would be the first to say BLM Protests were not insurrection. But yet liberals call Justice Alito's Flag, (Alito knows the laws better then these liberals), an "insurrection flag". The sole reason is his political leanings. He's a conservative, those pictured above are leftist Marxists who align with Democrats.
There are now calls made by some Leftists saying the Senate needs to hold hearings on the Supreme Court. This won't happen because the constitution states there are 3 separate but equal branches of federal government:, The Executive (President), The Legislative (Congress) and the Judicial (Supreme Court). Article 1 of The Constitution lays out the roles and Responsibilities of Congress. It does not grant Congress the power to interfere with the Judicial (Supreme Court). Except in the process of CONFIRMING a justice, That's it!
Article 2 of the constitution lays out the roles and responsibilities of the President and Vice President. Like Congress, the President can name a Justice to fill a vacancy, then it goes to Congress to confirm it, Like Congress, that's the limit of their power with regard to the Supreme Court.
Article 3 Lays out the Roles and Responsibilities of the Judicial branch. Like the other two branches, they are limited in their power over the others.
In short, Congress makes laws, the President Passes or Vetoes a law and the Judicial INTERPRET the laws and rule according to the Constitution.
Here is a Link to the Constitution for review.
In summary there is no law in the Constitution denying the Justices or their families freedom of expression as guaranteed in the 1st amendment of the Constitution, no more then the same freedoms exercised by BLM protesters. and the constitution lays out separation of powers among the three branches to keep each one from overpowering the others.
