TL;DR

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. has refused to recuse himself from two Supreme Court cases related to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, despite reports of provocative flags flown at his homes. Alito stated that the flags, which appeared to support the "Stop the Steal" movement, were displayed by his wife and not by him. The decision has raised concerns about potential bias in the cases, which involve former President Donald Trump and charges against Capitol rioters.
