Justice Alito Recuses Himself From Climate Change Case
Original: Justice Alito surprisingly recuses from climate change case ahead of new term
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a climate change case ahead of the new court term, a surprising move given his usual participation in environmental disputes. His absence could affect the outcome if the remaining eight justices split, and it is drawing attention to the reasons behind the decision, which have not been explained publicly.
Why now: A Supreme Court justice rarely recuses from a major case, so the unexplained move is drawing speculation ahead of the new term.
