mrs. alito, blaming his wife while the blame mrs. alito excuse, is not flying with the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, dick durbin saying a statement. he says a leader should recuse himself from any cases related to the 2020 election. obviously that means the immunity case and the jack smith case derbin rights in a statement flying an upside american flag, a symbol of the so-called stop the steal movement, clearly creates the appearance of bias now, just to state the very obvious here for me, for everybody watching a supreme court justice should know better than to have such a blatant political display in his front yard. it's common sense. >> but if there were any question about it, the court does have an internal rule book that he could have consulted. >> it reads employees may not engage in partisan political activity. for example, publicly support or oppose a partisan political organization or candidate this includes displaying signs or bumper stickers, or stating positions on social media pretty obvious stuff. >> but
