16. I could argue the flag event is not that different from his other behavior.

We see him being partisan, petty, and mean minded in his rulings.
With an obvious high need for control.

Wiping out basic rights for women without blinking.
Considering giving a ruthless sociopath ex-president immunity.

We have considered his clerks covering up a dementia.
Maybe they have been covering up what an absolute SOB jackass he is on a daily basis.
Maybe the flag situation shows us the real Alito.

Steve Schmidt was hinting that this is the case.
Alito has always been like this.
We just didn't realize how bad it was.
That he has always been crazy.

And as he ages it gets a bit worse.

So yes you are right, something is very wrong with this guy.
But it is probably nothing new.
Just gets a bit more ridiculous as he ages.
