I’m the only open non-believer in Congress, and I appreciate the right-wing Supreme Court justice inadvertently showing Americans the threat of Christian nationalism.
The appeal to heaven flag, despite what the name implies, is not really religious in spirit. The whole idea is that there is a right to revolution if the laws of the land are truly unjust. It’s an acknowledgement that the laws of the land can be wrong and that revolution is necessary under certain circumstances. Hard to say exactly what his intent was in flying that flag, maybe in direct relation to Jan 6, but possibly as a an acknowledgement of the limitations of the highest court in the land. If the latter, then I think it’s commendable for him to fly it.
