Samuel Alito Hints at Possible Retirement from Supreme Court
Original: Samuel Alito hints at retirement
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has hinted at the possibility of retiring from the bench. The 75-year-old conservative justice, appointed by President George W. Bush in 2006, has provided no details on timing. Commentators are speculating about who might replace him and what it would mean for the Court's conservative majority under a Republican president and Senate.
Why now: Any signal of a Supreme Court vacancy under a friendly president carries major stakes for the Court's ideological balance.
