"summary",
"Sources close to Alito have told The Wall Street Journal that he has no interest in retiring, despite months of speculation that Trump would replace him and fellow Justice Clarence Thomas with more conservative judges. Alito has been criticized for his partisanship and ethical failings, including a luxury fishing trip paid for by a hedge fund billionaire and his refusal to recuse himself from cases involving the billionaire's company. Despite this, Alito has shown no signs of retiring, and may even be motivated to stay on the court by his ego and arrogance."

Considering how overt Alito’s partisanship has been the past few years, it’s worth taking this statement with a bolder of salt.\u0026nbsp; There has been speculation for months that a Trump presidency would replace both Alito and fellow Justice Clarence Thomas, who is 76 years old, since they are the court’s two oldest members. But even if Alito has no current plans to step down, Trump will have at least two years of a Republican Senate, so the justice may end up changing his mind, especially if the 2026 midterm forecast looks bad for the GOP.read more\nhttps://crooksandliars.com/2024/11/smug-hole-alito-not-interested-retiring",
