Dude, just don’t say anything
Bringing your wife (or for some reason your neighbor apparently) into it is going to be good for no one
I have no idea whether Alito actually wants to overthrow our democracy and affirmatively decided to promote a symbol of his desire to do so. But I just know tactically that unless the explanation is simple and straightforward, which in this case it isn’t, him trying to explain any of the details is a mistake
(Side note: I absolutely love that the US still is set up so that even if your neighbor is a Supreme Court justice you can walk over and call them a cunt and it’s okay. Rand Paul’s neighbor punched him in the face and apparently that was okay, too. You don’t have to treat them special just because they’ve got this special job. I’m not kidding; I think that’s awesome.)
Edit: I am wrong, Rand Paul’s neighbor got a felony and is facing maybe 10 years. I’m assuming that calling Alito a cunt was still allowed.

Rene Boucher, 58, was charged on Friday with assaulting a member of Congress, a felony, months after his sneak attack on Sen. Rand Paul in November, according to officials.
“Assaulting a member of Congress is an offense we take very seriously,” said Josh Minkler, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “Those who choose to commit such an act will be held accountable.”
Officials said Boucher signed a plea agreement, but no date or sentencing has been set. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000.
