Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is considering retirement amid pushback he has received in recent months, according to a new report.
Alito has faced criticism for his household flying an upside-down U.S. flag in January 2021, a symbol associated with the "Stop the Steal" campaign aimed at overturning President Joe Biden's 2020 election win. He also saw a notable loss in a ruling on how social media sites should moderate content.
The 74-year-old "has reflected in private about retirement," a new CNN report has stated, citing sources "inside and outside the court with knowledge of the deliberations."
Newsweek has contacted Alito for comment outside of typical working hours.
