Justice Samuel Alito delivers a commencement speech Saturday at the Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio.
Alito also told students that religious liberty is being "threatened."
"When you venture out into the world, you may find yourself in a job, or a community or a social setting where you will be pressured to endorse ideas you don’t believe, or to abandon core beliefs. It will be up to you to stand firm... it will be up to you to speak out," he said.
Alito spoke as the Supreme Court is weighing a number of high-profile cases, including whether former President Trump can claim presidential immunity against criminal charges brought by the Biden Justice Department.

"And we can look around the world and find countries where we have seen this process, where the loser gets thrown in jail," Alito added.
