Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's Legal Battles

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's hardline approach backfired this year when he lost two key rulings, including one involving social media platforms. His efforts to restrict how platforms filter content failed, leading to a 6-3 ruling supporting the First Amendment rights of social media companies. Alito faced internal opposition and public scrutiny, including calls for recusal in Trump-related cases. He had a contentious year with limited leading opinions and faced criticism for his approach.
