Wife of Justice Alito called upside-down flag ‘signal of distress’

Martha-Ann Alito, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, reportedly posted a picture on Facebook of an upside-down American flag. An upside-down flag is considered a “signal of distress” in instances of extreme danger to life or property. This gesture can also be interpreted as a political statement, indicating disagreement with the current state of the country. It’s worth noting that Justice Alito and his wife are private individuals and their views may not reflect the entire judiciary or government.
