Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is confirming that he’s staying on the nation’s highest court for another term WASHINGTON -- 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. The story was quickly retracted and the court confirmed it was inaccurate, but that did not stop the talk about what Alito might do. A retirement would likely have given Republican President Donald Trump a chance to name a fourth Supreme Court justice.
