Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was caught on tape last week saying he "agrees" that the United States must return to a place of "godliness."
He also said that the battle for America "can't be compromised" and that "one side or the other is going to win."
These extraordinary comments twist our faith, endorse a Christian-nationalist agenda, and violate the Constitutional separation of church and state -- and that's not all. They also come on the heels of the news that Alito's homes flew two right-wing flags contesting the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
One of the banners, the "Appeal to Heaven" flag carried by January 6 insurrectionists, has become a Christian-nationalist symbol for, The New York Times reports, "a push to remake American government in Christian terms."
This man is far from impartial and cannot remain a justice on our nation's highest court. As a grassroots movement of Christians, let's join together to demand that Justice Alito immediately resign.
