The US Flag Code stipulates that this can only be used in cases of "dire distress and extreme danger to life or property."

So they weren't using it as a symbol for the J6 rally, but to communicate that they believe the country was in distress?
That's all your posts seem to indicate Gal.
Are people now outraged about burning the flag in protest? The symbolism is much more disconcerting IMO.
On Friday, Sigcho-Lopez spoke at a rally where protesters called for canceling the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and criticized President Joe Biden's handling of the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. Pro-Palestinian groups have repeatedly called on Biden to demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
Video from the rally shows a man setting fire to the American flag, and photos show Sigcho-Lopez later speaking with the charred remains of the flag in front of him

To be fair, I would imagine if a justices wife burned the flag some people on the right would be outraged, but it is a first amendment right.
Can we now say its associated with "communists"?
Johnson (Texas v Johnson), 63, was more interested in talking about politics and revolution.
He is a committed member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, founded in 1975 by Bob Avakian, the group's 77-year-old chairman and theoretician.

I just see this as symbol of protest, much like, but different meaning, a burning the flag. Which is also "illegal" but legal when done on protest.

How Election Deniers Claimed the Upside-Down Flag
There's a big reach to attach this symbolism to meaning the only use in the future is an "insurrection" meaning.
Lets just say Alito's prefer Trump. Is this bad?
Yeah, sorry Sylvester, but Supreme Court Justices are not merely ordinary citizens; they are one of three branches of our Gov, and are obligated to act ethically, at least in public.
Where was your outrage for RBG? RBG was a publicly loud critic of Trump in 2016. Shouldn't all the branches be obligated to act ethically?
I don't recall anyone complaining this loud about RBG have to recuse herself from Judging cases which the Trump administration presented to the SC, on things like immigration.

Seems like this was just a dispute between neighbors, unless someone has actual facts beyond what Alito's wife statement, its sort of a TDS hoax at this point.
Perhaps some newspaper will do some actual research and ask the neighbor, or is just being outraged the thing these days.
Supreme Court Justices flying the US flag upside down does not predate MAGA.

Oh, so now it was Alito's wife who hung the flag? I was told it was her husband.

This isn't known? Do people here really think Robert's raised it?
It was Alito he just blamed his wife. The guy doesnt think women have reproductive rights, you think hed let her choose a flag?
Its easy enough to prove, it was part of a disagreement with neighbors ... geee who could we ask?
