From the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal, this is Potomac Watch.

The political left launches another attack on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito,

this time over the American flag, and a Harvard alumni group releases a new report about the startling nature of anti-semitism on that university campus.

Welcome to Potomac Watch. I'm Kim Strassal joined today by my colleagues,

Manay Wiboua and Bill McGurn. Let's start with this new uproar over Justice

Alito, which came about when a Thursday New York Times story reported that in January of 2021 not long before

Joe Biden was inaugurated, the Alito's yard at their home in Alexandria, Virginia, briefly

flew an upside-down American flag.

This information was based on interviews and photos from the Alito's neighbors.

Now it turns out there's quite an

involved backstory to all of this. It didn't start to get filled in until later, but initially the New York Times placed this solely in the context of the fact that at the time,

an upside down flag was a gesture by some Americans to show solidarity with Donald

Trump's Stop the Steel campaign.

And thus the intimation was that somehow Justice Alito was an election

election denier.

Manay, there's actually a fair amount more to this.

Why don't you tell us the facts of what we actually know about

how this flagline came to be.

Absolutely. So to go back to January of 2021, of course our listeners will recall that these Supreme Court members who are conservatives have faced a lot of scrutiny, a lot of threats, a lot of pressure in their own neighborhoods. The critiques of them generally are not limited to the political realm and the press, but you've had incidents like Brett Kavanaugh facing a person who came to his home trying to threaten him, etc.
