Justice Samuel Alito confirms he’s staying on the Supreme Court for another term
Alito said retirement speculation will not change his independence as conservatives press for a younger successor and Trump could name a fourth justice.
- On Friday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito confirmed he will serve another term, countering speculation he might retire to allow President Donald Trump to appoint a successor.
- Retirement rumors intensified in June after National Public Radio reporter erroneously published a prewritten story, fueling pressure from conservatives concerned about potential Republican Senate control changes in November.
- Alito dismissed the notion that justices are interchangeable, criticizing cable news analysts—"20-somethings, 30-somethings, particularly if they're not lawyers"—for viewing the court through a simplistic lens.
- The 76-year-old justice declared he decides cases based on his own legal judgment, stating, "If that means a high correlation with what Trump wants, fine."
- With the court's upcoming session beginning in October, Alito's decision to remain ensures the current conservative supermajority continues through the term ahead.
