Last year the United States Supreme Court adopted a Code of Conduct for Justices, as reported and discussed in a memo by the Congressional Research Service.

Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito denies knowledge of any connection between the two flags flown at his homes and the January 6 2021 insurrection at the United States Capitol.

Mr. Alito asserts that as a joint tenant by the entirety his wife had the right to possession of their property .  As does he.

Alito writes that the Rule and the appearance of impropriety do not require that he abandon his duty to sit as a member of the high court.

The Code announced by the Court in   2023 declares these five broad principles referred to as "ethical canons':
1. A Justice Should Uphold the Integrity and Independence of the Judiciary.
2. A Justice Should Avoid Impropriety and the Appearance of Impropriety in All Activities.
3. A Justice Should Perform the Duties of Office Fairly, Impartially, and Diligently.
4. A Justice May Engage in Extrajudicial Activities that Are Consistent with the Obligations
of the Judicial Office.
5. A Justice Should Refrain from Political Activity
