A Teacher’s Bumper Sticker and Alito’s Flags
A bridge over troubled waters
I know the clamor and criticism regarding Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s flags have died down. I also know that he threw his wife under the bus and said that he can’t and won’t control her proclivity to wave politically charged flags at their various residences.
