Alito recuses himself from major Supreme Court climate case
Original: Justice Samuel Alito recuses himself from major Supreme Court climate change case
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate change case before the Court, according to CNN. The move leaves the remaining eight justices to decide a case with potentially far-reaching consequences for US climate policy. No reason for the recusal was given in the report, and it is not yet clear how his absence might affect the outcome.
Why now: A Supreme Court justice stepping aside from a landmark climate case is rare and could influence its outcome.
