I spoke directly with Justice #Alito about the flag story in the NYT. In addition to what's in the story, he told me a neighbor on their street had a "F--- Trump" sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21. Mrs. Alito brought this up with the neighbor. 1/
According to Justice Alito, things escalated and the neighbor put up a sign personally addressing Mrs. Alito and blaming her for the Jan 6th attacks. 2/
Justice Alito says he and his wife were walking in the neighborhood and there were words between Mrs. Alito and a male at the home with the sign. Alito says the man engaged in vulgar language, "including the c-word". 3/
Following that exchange, Mrs. Alito was distraught and hung the flag upside down "for a short time". Justice Alito says some neighbors on his street are "very political" and acknowledges it was a very heated time in January 2021. 4/4
Adding some reaction. First from Senate Judiciary Comm Chair @SenatorDurbin -
"Justice Alito should recuse himself immediately from cases related to the 2020 election and the January 6thinsurrection, including the question of the former President’s immunity in U.S. v. Donald Trump, which the Supreme Court is currently considering."
And from House Democratic Leader @RepJeffries -
"Samuel Alito should apologize immediately for disrespecting the American flag and sympathizing with right-wing violent insurrectionists. He must recuse himself from cases involving the 2020 election and former President Donald Trump."

Trump attorney now laying out "10 reasons for reasonable doubt". 1. Invoices - says Cohen created them and they are accurate. No evidence Trump knew they were sent.
2. Vouchers/Checks - argues no proof Pres Trump ever saw what happened with vouchers. Some of the checks he didn't even see/sign.
3. No proof of intent to defraud. Trump submitted the IRS forms and separate govt ethics form and posted on Twitter about the payments.

BREAKING: Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed with #SCOTUS in response to Pres Trump's request for a stay of the DC Cir ruling against him on the Q of immunity. Smith opposes a stay from SCOTUS, which would slow the underlying case. From Smith's filing:

" ... the public interest in a prompt trial is at its zenith where, as here, a former President is charged with conspiring to subvert the electoral process so that he could remain in office. The Nation has a compelling interest in seeing the charges brought to trial."
More from Smith's filing w #SCOTUS today:

“ … the serious harm to the government -- and to the public -- of postponing the resolution of the criminal charges against applicant outweighs any equities he can assert to preclude further pre-trial proceedings while he seeks certiorari.”
Smith argues that if #SCOTUS does take up the case on the merits, it should move swiftly. From the filing:

"An expedited schedule would permit the Court to issue its opinion and judgment resolving the threshold immunity issue as promptly as possible this Term, so that, if the Court rejects applicant’s immunity claim, a timely and fair trial can begin with minimal additional delay. The government proposes a schedule that would permit argument in March 2024, consistent with the Court’s expedition of other cases meriting such treatment."

#SCOTUS rules in favor of Colorado web designer who says she will serve all customers - but not do custom designs for events she disagrees with. J. Gorsuch writes for 6-3 Court, saying govt cannot compel people to voice speech they do not believe.
J. Gorsuch for majority: " ... tolerance, not coercion, is our Nation’s answer. The First Amendment envisions the United States as a rich and complex place where all persons are free to think and speak as they wish, not as the government demands."
J. Sotomayor dissent: "Today is a sad day in American constitutional law and in the lives of LGBT people. The Supreme Court ... declares that a particular kind of business, though open to the public, has a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class."

Y'all, I got fired from my first tv job, by a man who told me I was the worst person he'd ever seen on tv. He also told me I'd never make it in this business. I was humiliated. I cried ... a lot. I prayed ... a lot. That man did me a favor. 1/
I had much to learn, and as I spent months getting anyone to return an email or a call I watched my tapes and got real with myself. There is always room for improvement, and believe me I needed it. 2/
I got a healthy serving of humility, and learned that God often allows us to walk through valleys - for our own good. That was also true when I spent years in chronic pain and was ultimately diagnosed with a genetic condition that has no cure. 3/

Whew - final #SCOTUS decision recap. EPA power on regulating carbon emissions reined in. 6-3 majority finds on such a sweeping regulatory scheme - either Congress has to do it or specifically delegate the authority.
Writing for majority, Chief Justice: "A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body." #EPA #SCOTUS
Justice Kagan's dissent: "The Court appoints itself—instead of Congress or the expert agency—the decisionmaker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening."
