Samuel Alito caught red-handed during secret recording

Can the political left and right live “in peace” in this country?

Probably not.

That’s the mindset of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samual Alito, who got candid with a liberal documentarian, Lauren Windsor, who posed as a religious conservative and secretly recorded his recent exchange with Alito.

“I don’t know if we can negotiate with the left in the way that’s necessary to end polarization,” Windsor told Alito at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s annual dinner on June 3. , like, win.

“I think you’re probably right,” Alito replied. “One side or the other is going to win. I don’t know. I mean, there can be a way of working, a way of life together peacefully, but it’s difficult, you know, because there are differences on fundamental things that really cannot be compromised. They really cannot be compromised. So it’s not like you’re going to split the difference.

Windsor shared her story and recording with Rolling Stone.

This comes after a neighbor his wife has been feuding with alleged Justice lied to lawmakers about when an American flag was flying upside down at his home.

Congressional Democrats have called on Alito to recuse himself from cases involving Donald Trump and the failed insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6 because the upside-down flag — and another flag flown at his beach house — are synonymous with the Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen. .

“It was briefly placed by Ms. Alito in response to a neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on street signs,” Alito told lawmakers in a written response to their request, declining to recuse himself .

“At best, he’s wrong, but at worst, he’s outright lying,” Emily Baden told CNN’s Erin Burnett on “OutFront.”

After news broke of the flag flying upside down at their homes, reports surfaced of a “Call to Heaven” flag – also carried by the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 – flying on a flagpole outside Alito’s home in Long. Beach Island in July and September 2023.

The judge rejected calls to recuse himself from Supreme Court cases involving Trump and the Jan. 6 defendants, saying his wife raised the two controversial flags that flew over their homes.
