Justice Alito steps aside from major Supreme Court climate case
Original: Supreme Court Justice Alito will not participate in big climate change case next week
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito will not take part in a major climate change case set for arguments next week. The court did not give a reason for his absence in the announcement reported by CNBC. His recusal leaves eight justices to hear the case, raising the possibility of a 4-4 split that would leave lower court rulings in place without setting national precedent.
Why now: Alito's unexpected recusal could affect the outcome of a high-stakes environmental case before the Supreme Court.
