U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is embroiled in a second flag controversy in as many weeks, this time over a banner that in recent years has come to symbolize Christian nationalism and the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. The “Appeal to Heaven” flag seen outside his New Jersey beach home last summer dates to the Revolutionary War and was flown on six schooners outfitted by George Washington to intercept British vessels at sea. In recent years, it has been adopted by the far-right and was among several banners flown by rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
