Original: Alito’s absence could give oil companies a tougher path in Supreme Court term opener
Justice Samuel Alito is expected to sit out the Supreme Court's new term opening case, a dispute with major implications for oil companies. His absence leaves eight justices to decide, raising the possibility of a 4-4 split and making a favorable outcome harder for the energy industry to secure.
Why now: The Supreme Court is opening its new term with a high-stakes case affecting oil companies, and Alito's recusal changes the likely outcome.
