Supreme Court Justice Alito said he's 'thought about' retirement as Senate control hangs in balance

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has considered retirement. The timing of his potential departure is significant, as the Senate's control is uncertain after the midterm election. If Democrats gain control, it could impact a potential Supreme Court nomination by President Donald Trump, according to CNBC.

The Supreme Court is set to start its new term, and Justice Alito's comments come as the court faces criticism, including from President Trump on social media. In a rare interview with CBS News, Alito said that such attacks can be damaging to the high court.

The court's public approval is near record lows, and its new term will feature major cases, including those related to President Trump's immigration agenda, as reported by The Hill.
