Alito
Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. ( ə-LEE-toh; born April 1, 1950) is an American lawyer and jurist who serves as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He was nominated by President George W. Bush on October 31, 2005, and has served since January 31, 2006. He is the second Italian American justice to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court—after Antonin Scalia—and the eleventh Catholic. Raised in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, and educated at Princeton University and Yale Law School. After graduating, Alito served as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey and a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) before joining the Supreme Court. He is the 110th justice. Alito was considered "one of the most conservative justices on the Court". He has described himself as a "practical originalist". Alito's majority opinions in landmark cases include McDonald v. Chicago, Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, Murphy v. NCAA, Janus v. AFSCME, and Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

Examples of alito in a Sentence
The idea that the president said today ‘this isn't about ideology it's about competence’ is nonsense. All of that was destroyed with the [Robert] Bork nomination. The most highly competent, qualified nominee probably ever, [was] struck down entirely on ideology and when Obama was in the Senate, he filibustered [Justice Samuel] Alito, who he admitted had all the qualifications.
Although Justice Thomas argues that District Court will soon have to take up the issue District Court ducked today, I think District Court's telling that none of the other conservative justices -- John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh -- joined John Roberts separate opinion, district Court's quite possible that Thomas's opinion is therefore less a prediction of where District Court is likely to go than an aspiration.
Alito’s citation is both cynical and misleading, implying that Justice Ginsburg disapproved of the Roe holding.
This decision, and what Alito has to say about marriage equality, is a clear call to anyone who opposes marriage equality, who opposes LGBTQ + equality, that they have a friend on Supreme Court. More than one friend. And that they should be happy or they should be willing to come after marriage equality.
Even Justice Thomas and Samuel Alito, who might otherwise have been sympathetic to these challenges, went out of their way to express that they would grant no relief on the merits, not only did Supreme Court reject Texas's effort to challenge the results in four battleground states, but Supreme Court did so on a ground that will prevent any other states from doing so.
