In the latest development, Justice Samuel Alito has reaffirmed his intention not to retire from the Supreme Court this year, despite the Democratic takeover in the Senate. This decision may close the window for President Trump to appoint a fourth or fifth justice to the court during his presidency. Meanwhile, in Texas, the Supreme Court will see a majority of female justices for the first time, with seven out of nine justices being women. This shift follows the election of four Democratic challengers who unseated Republican incumbents. The new justices, including the first female chief justice, Maggie Ellis, will serve six-year terms starting January 1.
