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 court's consideration of the Suncor climate liability case, which involves Colorado communities suing the energy company over climate change damages. The move leaves eight justices to decide whether to hear the dispute, and is drawing attention because of questions over Alito's financial disclosures and ties to energy interests.
Why now: The recusal of a Supreme Court justice in a high-profile climate lawsuit is unusual and fuels ongoing scrutiny of the court's ethics.
