Justice Alito recuses himself from major climate case
Original: In reversal, Justice Samuel Alito steps aside from major climate case
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has withdrawn from a major climate-related case, reversing an earlier decision to take part. The move means the case will be decided by the remaining eight justices, and it is likely to renew scrutiny of the justices' recusal practices and potential conflicts of interest in high-profile environmental litigation.
Why now: A Supreme Court justice reversing course on participation in a landmark climate case is rare and raises questions about his earlier decision to stay involved.
