Justice Alito steps aside from major climate case in reversal
Original: In reversal, Justice Samuel Alito steps aside from major climate case
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has withdrawn from a major climate case, reversing an earlier decision to take part. The move comes amid scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest surrounding the justice. The reversal is drawing attention to ethical questions facing the Supreme Court and to the stakes of the climate litigation, which could have significant consequences for environmental regulation in the United States.
Why now: A Supreme Court justice reversing course on participation in a high-stakes climate case raises questions about conflicts of interest and court ethics.
