Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has announced that he is staying for another Term," Trump wrote Monday night on Truth Social. ALITO NOT EXPECTED TO RETIRE THIS TERM, COOLING SUPREME COURT VACANCY SPECULATION: SOURCES"Obviously, I'm here for another term," Alito said in an interview published by The Wall Street Journal. For Trump, the stakes surrounding an aging Supreme Court justice are hardly theoretical. Not since Richard Nixon's first term had a president placed at least three new members on the Supreme Court in one term.
