Justice Alito recuses himself from Boulder climate lawsuit

Original: Justice Alito recuses himself from major Boulder climate lawsuit

US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate lawsuit brought by the City of Boulder, Colorado, which seeks damages from energy companies over climate-related costs. The move, reported by Colorado Public Radio, could affect the case's outcome, as recusals leave eight justices to decide whether the court takes it up.

Why now: A Supreme Court justice stepping aside from a high-stakes climate case is rare and could shape how the litigation proceeds.
