The Alito Court: A rare interview with the influential Supreme Court justice

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 4 October 2026 and 5 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Justice Samuel Alito discussed his opinion in the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the leaked draft and its aftermath, same-sex marriage rights and why he's not retiring yet.

What the coverage shows

CNN frames Alito’s remarks as part of a broader question about whether he will retire and what that could mean for Trump and the Court, while Reason uses a narrower headline focused just on his deciding when to retire. Both extracts center on Alito’s comments to CBS News, and Reason is alone in explicitly describing them as “candid.”
