If true, yet another reason Trump must win re-election.
Can’t say I blame him, Washington was a swamp, now it’s a sewer.
Alito must be more of a human, and less of an ideologue than Ginsburg. Ginsburg is hanging on my her fingernails in hopes that Trump won’t pick her replacement.
Hugh Hewitt is a pathetic tool.
If he retires before November the political storm is going to be incredible.
I’ll take a “wait and see” on this.
70 is young and haven’t heard that he is ill or anything.
Hugh Hewitt — Justice Alito considering retirement…

Ummmm...when are we gonna get some good news?
Alito is good. I would be sad to see him go.
On the other hand, if we manage to invalidate the entire Obama presidency, I would want Kagen and Sotomayor to be removed. And I think RBG really needs to retire. And I’d like John Roberts to be convinced to step down in order to spend more time with his lawyers.
Gossip. Nothing more. Hewitt is almost always wrong in his predictions anyway. Right now he is obsessed with renaming the USS Stennis aircraft carrier and eliminating statues of former racists.
“Justice Alito considering retirement…”
Of course he is. Only leftists never die or retire. I wonder if he will wait until after the next election no matter who wins?
A lifetime appointment is just like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Just because you can doesn’t mean you have to. If the Republic is to survive, we have to get to the point where it isn’t so critically dependent upon individual personalities being in specific roles.
Sandra Day O’Connor is still alive, fourteen years after retiring to take care of her ailing husband. She’s also only three years older than Ginsburg, who apparently believes in the system so much that she doesn’t trust anyone else to sit in her seat despite a series of significant health issues.

I wonder if the closet liberal and anti-Trumper did a little jig after posting this.
Lol! Imagine the apocalyptic fustercluck in DC if next week Alito, Thomas, Ginsburg and Bryer all announced their retirements.
If it happens before the Election count on that 2012 worthless loser...and perhaps one or two others...seeking to block a replacement.
What we need to do is focus on containing the court so it can't do any more damage. Focus on reform. The problem with the supreme court is the overreach of power not the justices that wield it. Nine men in robes were never supposed to decide every life changing issue for 300 million people.
RE: Justice Alito considering retirement…
Why? is he sick or just tired of putting up with all these S**T? Can’t he wait for Ginsburg to leave first?
