Justice Alito recuses himself from Suncor climate case
Original: Alito recuses from Suncor climate case
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from the Suncor climate liability case, removing him from the court's consideration of whether oil giant Suncor can be sued over climate-related damages. The move leaves eight justices to weigh the matter and is drawing attention given ongoing scrutiny of justices' ties to fossil fuel interests and ethics questions surrounding the court.
Why now: The recusal is newly announced and touches on both a high-stakes climate case and the Supreme Court's ethics controversies.
