Martha-Ann Alito, the wife of Justice Samuel Alito, has faced criticism after reports she flew an upside-down flag at their home.

The wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito faced criticism on Flag Day in the U.S., with one social media user calling her a traitor, over an upside-down flag reportedly flown at the Alito home in 2021.'Yeah, true American fly the flag the right way, traitors fly it upside down,' @PawlowskiMario, a political commentator, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Last month, Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times that the upside down flag is the 'equivalent of putting a 'Stop the Steal' sign in your yard.'Justice Alito told the Times that he had 'no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,' saying his wife 'briefly' put up the inverted flag 'in response to a neighbor's use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.
