Democrats and the press can always count on a handful of Senate Republicans to participate in the latest far-left hoax to undermine the political opposition by delegitimizing bulwark institutions. The latest effort comes from The New York Times fabricating a flag controversy with a series of hysterical stories claiming Justice Samuel Alito is a far-right provocateur because of a pair of flags flown at his East Coast residences.

She found it humiliating when the campaign lawyers branded her a “judgment debtor” in a subpoena. They monitored her Twitter account, which had 32 followers, and submitted hundreds of pages of printouts to a judge. They…
