A secretly recorded conversation with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is now calling into question his impartiality in politically fraught cases before the nation's highest court.
"One side or the other is going to win," Alito responds, unaware he was being recorded."I don't know. I mean, there can be a way of working, a way of living together peacefully, but it’s difficult, you know, because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised." The Alito family has come under scrutiny for displaying flags on their property similar to those carried by supporters of former President Donald Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. One of the flags seen flying outside Alito's New Jersey beach home has been a symbol associated with a push to remake the U.S. government into one that more closely follows Christian principles.
