Alito has come under fire since it was revealed an upside-down U.S. flag was flown outside his home, days after the Capitol riot.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has been called out by liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson over a 'judicial power grab,' according to a legal scholar.Rachel Barkow, a professor of law at New York University, said that the outcomes Alito 'endorses almost always coincide with what a conservative politician or interest group would prefer' and that the justice is governed by 'his own practical judgment about what is acceptable.
''Bridge too far'A prime example, Barkow wrote, came on May 16, the same day the Times reported the story about the upside-down flag being flown outside Alito's house.That day, the court rejected a conservative-led attack that could have undermined the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, ruling 7-2 that the way the CFPB is funded does not violate the Constitution.
