Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, on Friday issued a statement regarding Alito saying in part, "Flying an upside-down American flag—a symbol of the so-called 'Stop the Steal' movement—clearly creates the appearance of bias. Justice Alito should recuse himself immediately from cases related to the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection, including the question of the former President's immunity in U.S. v. Donald Trump, which the Supreme Court is currently considering."

In his statement, Durbin also called for the immediate passing of the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency (SCERT) Act, which would require the Court to adopt an ethics code of conduct.
