Story summary

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, aged 76, told CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford in an interview set to air Monday that he considers retirement each year but decided to stay because he believes he can "still make a valuable contribution." Alito emphasized the damaging impact of political criticism on the court, citing comments from former President Trump and current criticisms. He warned about efforts to intimidate justices, which could influence their rulings. If Alito were to retire now, President Donald Trump would have an opportunity to nominate another conservative justice, given that Republicans control the Senate.
