Alito's Wife Captured on Recording Discussing Flying Catholic Flag at Supreme Court

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's wife, Martha-Ann Bomgardner, expressed interest in flying a Catholic flag at the Supreme Court in recordings captured by a left-wing activist.

The recordings, released by the activist group American Oversight, were made by a filmmaker posing as a conservative supporter. In the recordings, Bomgardner discusses her desire to display a Catholic flag outside of the Supreme Court building.

The recordings have sparked controversy, with some critics accusing Alito and his wife of violating the separation of church and state. Others have defended the Alitos, arguing that they have the right to express their religious beliefs in private.

The Alitos have not commented publicly on the recordings. However, the Supreme Court has previously ruled that the display of religious symbols on government property is generally permissible, as long as it does not endorse a particular religion.

The recordings are the latest in a series of controversies surrounding the Supreme Court. In recent months, the court has been criticized for its decisions on abortion, gun rights, and religious freedom.
