Rightwing US supreme court justices are in trouble. So they’ve discovered feminism

‘An inverted American flag … flew in front of Justice Samuel Alito’s home … But Alito says his wife, Martha-Ann, ran her opinion up the flagpole … ’‘An inverted American flag … flew in front of Justice Samuel Alito’s home … But Alito says his wife, Martha-Ann, ran her opinion up the flagpole … ’Husbands have lost their control. And, it would seem, none more than the poor schlubs on the bench of the supreme court of the United States.

But Alito – who is about to sign the ruling on whether Trump is immune from prosecution for inciting the riot or, for that matter, anything else he ever does – says he never touched, or apparently looked at or commented on, the flag. His wife, Martha-Ann, ran her opinion up the flagpole during a neighborly tiff. “I had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag,” the justice said in anto the New York Times.

The male justices are also implicitly invoking a right that feminists, along with Black and LGBTQ+ civil rights activists, conceived and won: the right to relational privacy. By contending that their professional thoughts and actions are unaffected by their wives’, the justices communicate that no one else knows what goes on inside their marriages and no one has the prerogative to eavesdrop on their breakfast table conversations or evaluate the meanings and effects of what is said there.
