• Samuel A. Alito’s account of the upside-down flag at his home doesn’t fully add up, and there are major discrepancies.
• Alito has yet to fully explain some key aspects of the controversy involving him and his wife.
• Politically charged flags are generally off-limits for judges, who must remain impartial and avoid appearance of bias.
