The Flag of American Theocracy
The "Appeal to Heaven" flag flown by Supreme Court Justice Alito is an anti-democratic symbol adopted by Christian Nationalists fighting to remake America as a religious theocracy.
The leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) promote themselves as apostles endowed by God to wage a religious war against American multicultural democracy and secular society. GOP members of Congress, including Speaker Johnson, have signaled their allegiance to this dangerous anti-democratic movement by displaying the “Appeal to Heaven” banner outside of their offices. Lindsay Beyerstein reported in Salon that, “the banner is the calling card of a Christian supremacist movement seeking to impose theocracy on America.”
MAGA Corrupts the Courts
Ultra rightwing conservative justices are turning a blind eye to corruption and are putting their thumbs on the scales of justice in order to help Trump avoid legal accountability.
The public's faith in the American legal system is collapsing for good reason. Rightwing justices have overturned decades of legal rights and are helping Trump avoid accountability by supporting rightwing legal theories without precedent or merit. Regardless of all of this, Chief Justice Roberts has rejected ethics reform despite the growing number of court scandals, including Justice Thomas accepting millions in undisclosed gifts from rightwing billionaires and Justice Alito publicly flying flags supporting the January 6 Insurrection.
