Alito's Late Recusal From Boulder Climate Case Draws Scrutiny
Original: Alito’s Recusal From a Key Climate Case May Be Too Little, Too Late https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.moth erjones.com/
Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a Supreme Court case involving Suncor, the oil company facing a Boulder climate damages lawsuit, after revelations that he held stock in the company. Critics say the recusal came only after his holdings were exposed, raising fresh ethics concerns about the Court. Observers warn the delay may have already affected the case's path.
Why now: Questions about Supreme Court ethics and Alito's oil stock holdings are fueling debate over the timing of his recusal.
