Samuel Alito makes cryptic observation about his late mentor Antonin Scalia

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito made an enigmatic remark about his late mentor Antonin Scalia in an uncharacteristically unguarded interview.

The conservative Scalia died in his sleep nearly a decade ago, on Feb. 13, 2016, roiling that year's presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, but Alito told journalist and author James Rosen that his former colleague would not likely approve of the state of U.S. politics since his passing, according to a new interview published by Politico.
