Will Trump get a fourth Supreme Court justice? Speculation swirls around Alito [View all]

Alito, the second-oldest justice and one of the most conservative, joined the high court 20 years ago.

“That is usually a very good milestone on which to retire,” Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University, said on the latest episode of the podcast Strict Scrutiny that she co-hosts.
