The New York Times broke the news last month that the American flag was flown upside-down at one of Justice Samuel Alito's properties back in 2021. Alito's wife is saying she flew the flag to trigger her neighbors, who, along with their "F**k Trump" flag, clashed with Alito's wife in person and "put up a sign personally addressing Mrs. Alito and blaming her for the January 6 attacks." It turns out the Washington Post sent out a reporter to Alito's house back in 2021 to cover the flag story, but the editors decided there just wasn't a story there. So it was up to the New York Times to "break" the news in 2024.

The federal government is seeking 85 months of incarceration for 73-year-old Dale Huttle for viscously attacking multiple police officers with a dangerous weapon on January 6. The prosecution has entered into evidence a photo of Huttle carrying the American flag upside-down, or as NBC News justice reporter Ryan J. Reilly reports, "Alito-style."

The feds didn't say "Alito-style" — that was Reilly's contribution.

Was it Reilly who asked if a pair of foam earplugs were rubber bullets? It was! We don't think he was at NBC News yet, though:

The justice has said it was his wife who put up the flag, so it's actually Mrs. Alito-style.
