WASHINGTON \u2014 As reporters across the nation scrambled to publish multiple massive Supreme Court stories on Tuesday morning, one newsroom\u2019s error brought the news cycle to a grinding halt.<\/p>

NPR mistakenly published a story claiming that the famed Justice Samuel Alito was retiring, citing a Supreme Court announcement. Within minutes, the outlet clarified that this was an error and retracted the story. The Supreme Court quickly denied that Alito was retiring. But the story\u2019s publication prompted Washington to wonder: Is Alito pondering retirement? And how soon would that retirement come?<\/p>

The justice has already chosen his clerks for the next term, a person familiar with the matter told The Daily Wire. Alito\u2019s clerks will include Marisa Sylvester, Zach Gluckow, and Bradley Larson. This doesn\u2019t mean that the justice cannot retire; however, Alito\u2019s clerks could be reassigned to other justices if he decided to leave.<\/p>

Court watchers have pointed to possible signs that the justice may retire in the near future, including the legacy of the historic opinion he authored deciding the fate of Roe v. Wade, and his upcoming book, set to go on sale in October 2026 (the day after the court\u2019s next term begins), Reuters reports.<\/p>

But people close to Alito have suggested that he\u2019s not yet ready to leave the Supreme Court. Neither is Justice Clarence Thomas, for that matter.<\/p>

\u201cI don\u2019t see Thomas or Alito retiring this term,\u201d a person close to Thomas told The Daily Wire.<\/p>

President Donald Trump addressed the matter in February, telling reporters, \u201cI hope they\u2019re going to be around a long time,\u201d when asked about Thomas or Alito retiring. \u201cI hope they\u2019re going to stay healthy. They\u2019re great people.\u201d<\/p>

If he did decide to retire while President Donald Trump is in office, Trump would choose Alito\u2019s replacement. Trump\u2019s past nominees to the court have prompted a firestorm from leftist activists and lawmakers, most notably over the appointment of Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, who were seen as the tipping point in overturning Roe v. Wade.<\/p>

\u201cThe window for Trump to nominate a Supreme Court justice, \u200bor any federal judge, with a friendly Republican Senate could be closing by the end of this year,\u201d Bush-era DOJ lawyer John Yoo told Reuters earlier this year.<\/p>

\u201cI think a conservative justice would want to retire during a time when an originalist would follow him or her,\u201d he added, \u201cand that \u200bis most likely with Trump as president and the Senate controlled by Republicans.\u201d<\/p>

So far, the White House hasn\u2019t shown much appetite for a Supreme Court vacancy \u2014 though legacy media and activist groups on the Left have been chomping at the bit for such a moment.<\/p>

\u201cThe White House hasn\u2019t been publicly pressuring the justices to retire,\u201d the source close to Thomas noted. \u201cThey\u2019re respecting the justices\u2019 decisions on how and when they would retire.\u201d<\/p>

If Alito actually retired, there are several possible candidates that the president could nominate in his place. One prominent option is Andy Oldham, a former Alito clerk who sits on the Fifth Circuit. Another is James Ho, a former Thomas clerk who is also from the Fifth Circuit. Emil Bove, a circuit judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, has also been floated.<\/p>

\u201cOne of the best things about Trump\u2019s position right now is all his previous appeals court nominees are in great position in terms of age and time on the lower court bench,\u201d a person close to the conservative justices shared. \u201cIt\u2019s a deep bench.\u201d<\/p>

A White House official told The Daily Wire that they wouldn\u2019t speculate on potential vacancies at any level, but noted: \u201cThe President is always prepared to nominate highly qualified judges who will uphold the Constitution and rule of law.\u201d<\/p>
