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. The case is part of a broader wave of local governments suing energy companies over climate-related damages. The reason for the recusal has not been detailed, and his absence could affect how the court handles the dispute.
