Justice Alito recuses himself from Supreme Court climate case
Original: US Supreme Court's Alito won't participate in climate case involving oil companies
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito will not take part in a climate case involving oil companies, Reuters reports. The recusal means the case will be decided by the remaining eight justices, which could affect the outcome if the court splits evenly. No reason was given for his decision not to participate.
Why now: A Supreme Court justice stepping aside from a high-stakes climate lawsuit against oil companies draws attention because it could shape the ruling.
