  "account": "Justice Samuel Alito of the United States Supreme Court has disclosed that he has experienced the loss of friendships due to his decisions, particularly the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade. In an interview with CBS News, Alito, a President George W. Bush appointee known for his conservative views, also addressed the criticism he has faced from the current and former U.S. Presidents, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. At 76, Alito has served on the bench for two decades, making significant contributions to right-leaning opinions on gun rights, executive power, and abortion. Alito's decision to not retire yet, while on the Supreme Court for 20 years, is a testament to his role as a key conservative voice on the court.",
  "summary": "\"There are cases that have resulted in the loss of old friendships,\" Alito said. \"That's something you have to live with.\"",
