Correction

A quick update to the post about Justice Alito. It’s a family joke that I’m notoriously bad with numbers and that it’s why I went to law school.

In the second paragraph of tonight’s post, I used a date of January 2017. In fact, it should have been 2021. The permanent version of the post on the internet reflects that correction. This is the updated version:

“Here’s what I did not anticipate: that in January of 2021—for several days around January 17th, to be precise, both after the insurrection on the sixth and while the Supreme Court was still considering whether to hear an election-related case—the inverted flag associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement was flying on a flagpole on Justice Alito’s lawn.”

Many thanks to the dear family friend, ironically, a retired judge himself, who brought this to my attention, and my apologies for the error.
