Wow, "Alito retirement rumors." As exciting as the rumors about a lifetime SCOTUS appointment for Aileen Cannon.

A SCOTUS justice retiring while we have a Republican president and a Republican majority in Congress is not something to look forward to.

A right-wing Supreme Court justice's new book fueled speculation Friday that he is preparing to "disrobe."

Justice Samuel Alito's new book, "So Ordered: An Originalist's View of the Constitution, the Court, and the Country," hits shelves in October, just a day after the Supreme Court's term officially kicks off on Oct. 5.

The timing sparked speculation for former litigator Elie Mystal, who questioned in The Nation why a sitting justice would release a book during the court's busiest season.

"That’s a curious date," he noted, calling the date a "giant tell."

Mystal added: "It sure feels like Alito doesn’t plan on having a real job the Tuesday his book launches and instead thinks he’ll be free to run around the country promoting it."

4. Dont care who theyd replace him with

At worst it would be a wash. Nobody could be worse than Alito.

5. Do you remember when he got the nickname "Scalito?"

Republicans saw great promise in him as the man who would continue the great work of Antonin Scalia.



Cannon would do what she was told to do, 100% of the time. I assume John Roberts would find that to be very appealing.

7. Scalia was an anti-Liberalism, lunatic asshole.

But at least his lunacy was logically consistent over time, and with itself. .
Alito cares about 'the movement' above all else, and doesn't give half a fuck about the reasoning is inconsistent between decisions that empower that movements end.

6. Dems can't allow Trmp to name his replacement -- he's too close to the end of his term ...

and even closer to the end of his mental decline.
