美国最高法院大法官塞缪尔·阿利托在接受《华尔街日报》采访时确认，他将继续在最高法院服役至少一个任期。[1]这位76岁的大法官的声明结束了2024年6月以来关于他可能退休的猜测。[1]阿利托表示："显然，我还会再任一个任期。"[1]
在澄清自己的司法理念时，阿利托强调他的投票决定完全基于案件本身而非政治立场。[1]他指出："我在每个案件中的投票方式都是我认为该案应该如何判决的方式。如果这意味着与特朗普的想法高度相关，那就这样。如果意味着与特朗普的想法完全无关，也就这样。"[1]
此前，NPR记者曾误发一份关于阿利托退休的报道，随后被撤回。[1]
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has put to rest weeks of speculation about his potential retirement, stating clearly that he intends to serve at least another term on the nation's highest court.[1] The 76-year-old justice made the announcement during an interview with The Wall Street Journal, declaring, "Obviously, I'm here for another term."[1]
Alito's confirmation comes after NPR inadvertently published a report about his retirement plans in June 2024, which was subsequently retracted.[1] In addressing his judicial philosophy, the justice emphasized that his voting decisions are determined solely by the merits of each case rather than political considerations, stating: "I vote in every case the way I think the case should be decided. If that means a high correlation with what Trump wants, fine. If it means zero correlation with what Trump wants, fine as well."[1]
