Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Justice Samuel Alito said Friday in a rare interview that he is committed to returning for another term at the Supreme Court.
Speculation that Alito, 76, would retire swelled in June, after NPR mistakenly reported that he planned to step down at the end of this term.
On Friday, the justice put those rumors to bed.
"Obviously I'm here for another term," Alito told The Wall Street Journal.
