Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito may have just dropped a hint about his retirement, and it could be as early as July.
According to the extreme left The nation magazine, Alito plans to publish his upcoming book, Thus Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, the Court, and the Country, on October 6 this year.
This date falls just one day after the Supreme Court begins its 2026-2027 term, which always begins in the first week of October.
Elie Mystal, a notorious race baiter who regularly appears on cable news, the case laid down in a recent article:
It makes sense for the judges to release their books in September. You focus on the upcoming term, but the judges are free to fly around the country, give lectures and conduct interviews to promote their books. May also makes sense, because the court will then no longer hear cases, but only write and edit opinions. The judges are busy in October. Probably too busy to sell a book.
The book’s publication date leads me to believe that Alito plans to retire at the end of the Supreme Court’s current term in July. That would win Trump and the Republicans who still control the Senatetime to appoint and confirm his replacement before the midterm elections.
Alito is watching TV. He reads the newspapers. Although Republicans are still favored to remain in the Senate, that is far from certain. Alito will turn 76 in April. He has accomplished most of the evil he set out to do, including overthrowing Roe v. Wade. With Republican polls declining, I don’t think he wants to roll the dice and be forced to hang around if Republicans lose the Senate this fall.
The publication date of his book is a huge story. I think he’s leaving while the Republicans still have the political power to replace him with another Sam Alito, thirty years younger.
Although Alito is the second most trusted justice behind Clarence Thomas, the prospect of retiring and being replaced by a younger conservative who could serve decades on the Court should be tempting for both men, who are now 77 and 75 years old, respectively.
In 2020, leftists were widely dismayed by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died of cancer just weeks before that fateful presidential election.
Her death allowed President Trump to nominate Amy Coney Barrett, who has since proven herself to be an unreliable lawyer after her appointment in October of that year.

Unfortunately, Joe Biden’s presidency then made possible the appointment of liberal Ketanji Brown Jackson, after Clinton-nominated Justice Stephen Breyer chose to retire in an apparent effort to cement his own ideological legacy on the Court.
