Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito confirmed Friday he’s staying on the nation’s highest court, weeks after a swell of speculation about a possible retirement.
“Obviously, I’m here for another term,” Alito, 76, said in an interview published in The Wall Street Journal’s editorial section.
Discussion of Alito’s future hit a fever pitch in June, when a mistake by a veteran Supreme Court reporter at National Public Radio resulted in the erroneous publication of a previously prepared retirement story.


Trollito is one of the worst, but I find it hilarious that he’s staying, as that may prevent someone younger and who is even worse, taking his place in a lifetime position.
I hope all the old cons in there decide to stick around until Democrats get to pick their replacements. 😆
Or Congress could just pack the court, there’s nothing that says how many Justices there should be
I’d be happy either way - as long as the cons don’t get their way.
If they get their way, they’ll install the youngest possible person they could get away with that was groomed by the Heritage Foundation since they were a fetus…
