"Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was taken to a hospital after becoming ill last month at a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, according to people with knowledge of the March 20 incident, which had not been previously reported."
"Alito, who turned 76 on Wednesday and has served as a justice for 20 years, has become the subject of widespread speculation from commentators across the ideological spectrum and the news media over whether he might retire."
"Quite simply, this president cannot be allowed to put one more justice, let alone two more, on this Court. I don't care if the president nominates Oliver Wendell Learned Hand Marshall, the answer remains no."
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was hospitalized for dehydration after an incident at a Federalist Society dinner. Despite this, he has appeared healthy in recent court sessions. At 76, speculation about his retirement is rampant, especially given his significant influence on the Court. With the potential for two more justices to be nominated by the current president, there is urgency among Democrats to prevent further shifts in the Court's balance. Alito's retirement could allow for a change in the Court's ideological direction.
