The left and their scare tactics aren’t fooling the Supreme Court
NY Post
For all the squawking from Democrats that Donald Trump is a “threat to democracy,” their relentless attacks on the Supreme Court are the gravest threat to the republic.
This week’s target is Justice Samuel Alito, whose crime is having a wife who is “fond of flying flags,” as he put it in a droll letter Wednesday to Biden allies in the Senate who are demanding he recuse himself from two Trump special-counsel cases.
As Joe Biden languishes in the polls, and the New York hush-money trial has done nothing to dent Trump’s electoral appeal, Dems are trying ever more dastardly ploys to sabotage the Republican’s campaign.
Manufacturing a scandal out of flags flown by Alito’s wife, Martha-Ann, outside their home is their pathetic attempt to force the Supreme Court to deliver a favorable outcome in the lawfare cases they are counting on to give Biden an unfair advantage in November.
They are desperate to tilt the court in their favor by cutting down Alito and fellow formidable conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, whose wife is also being used to damage him.
The New York Times was more than happy to oblige by sending a reporter to muckrake around Alito’s neighbors in suburban Virginia and dredge up evidence of his wife’s flag-raising villainy.
