Alito expressed displeasure with the rhetoric from Trump and his administration, according to HuffPost and PBS. He also addressed considerations about retirement, admitting he thinks about it every year but has no intention of leaving the bench at this time. Alito's first book, 'So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of The Constitution, The Court and Our Country,' was recently released.
The Supreme Court begins its new nine-month term with a 6-3 conservative majority. It will hear disputes over two key immigration policies: mandatory detention without a bond hearing and rapid expulsion of deportees to countries other than their own. The administration has filed appeals defending Trump's ban on transgender people in the military, cuts to academic grants, efforts to install federal prosecutors, and suspension of asylum at the US-Mexico border.
Alito authored the landmark 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade. He also wrote the majority opinion allowing Trump to cancel temporary protected status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants. The court's legitimacy has been questioned, with some arguing it facilitates the Trump administration's efforts to expand presidential power.
