https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/us/justice-alito-neighbors-stop-steal-flag.htmlThe police in Fairfax County, Va., received an unusual phone call on Feb. 15, 2021. A young couple claimed they were being harassed by the wife of a Supreme Court justice.
Somebody in a position of authority needs to talk to her and make her stop, said the 36-year-old man making the complaint, according to a recording of the call reviewed by The New York Times. The officer on the line responded that there was little the police could do: Yelling was not a crime.
Snip
Amid the controversy, Ms. Baden said she was surprised to find herself playing a central role in Justice Alitos account about a war of words, political signs and a flag. I never saw the upside-down flag, never heard about it, she said.
Snip
Mrs. Alito happened to be standing outside. According to interviews with Ms. Baden and her husband, as well as messages they sent to friends at the time, Mrs. Alito ran toward their car and yelled something they did not understand. The couple continued driving, they said, and as they passed the Alito home again to exit the cul-de-sac, Mrs. Alito appeared to spit toward the vehicle.
End snips.
Anyway, the disputes don't line up wth the upside down flag. Feb 15 is weeks after the flag was taken down. It's a story that won't go away, Sammy.
Think. Again.

(2,300 posts)A grown woman spit at a car that was driving away. What??? She's unhinged. I would be nervous living in a neighborhood with such a deranged, unstable person.

(60,182 posts)Alito keeps claiming the upside down flag was his wifes doing, and if there are independent complaints of her acting hysterically, it reinforces his claim that he had nothing to do with the flag, that it really was his wifes doing.

(60,182 posts)Did anyone even ask if Alito is married to a dog? They chase after cars all the time.
