Alito's absence could complicate oil companies' Supreme Court case

Original: Alito’s absence could give oil companies a tougher path in Supreme Court term opener

Justice Samuel Alito is not participating as the Supreme Court opens its new term with a case brought by oil companies, potentially making it harder for them to win a favorable ruling. With eight justices potentially divided, the industry faces a tougher path to securing a majority in the closely watched dispute.

Why now: The Supreme Court is opening its new term with a major oil industry case in which Alito's recusal could affect the outcome.
