Justice Samuel Alito says he will stay for another Supreme Court term
The 76-year-old justice ends near-term retirement speculation, preserving the court’s 6–3 conservative majority without giving Trump a fourth appointment this year.
Justice Samuel Alito, 76, said he is “obviously” staying for the court term that begins in October. The statement follows weeks of speculation triggered by an erroneous NPR retirement story that was quickly retracted.
