Justice Alito Steps Aside from Supreme Court Climate Case
Original: Justice Alito Won’t Participate in Supreme Court Case on Climate Change
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito will not take part in a pending Supreme Court case concerning climate change. The Wall Street Journal reported the decision, though no reason for his recusal has been given. His absence could affect the outcome, since the remaining eight justices may split evenly on the issue.
Why now: The recusal of a sitting justice in a major climate case is rare and could change the ruling's outcome.
