A Tennessee congressman has introduced a House resolution to censure U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito—a George W. Bush appointee—over an inverted American flag hung outside his Virginia home between the Jan. 6, 2021, “Stop the Steal” protests and President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

An upside-down flag was used by many people who believed that the 2020 presidential election was rigged in favor of President Biden and that former President Donald Trump was the actual winner.
