Justice Alito recuses from pivotal climate change case
Original: Alito will not participate in pivotal climate change case
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito will not take part in a closely watched climate change case before the court, according to a report from The Center Square. His absence could affect the outcome, since an 8-justice court raises the possibility of a tie vote, which would leave the lower court ruling in place without setting a national precedent.
Why now: Recusals are rare on the Supreme Court, and this one could shape the outcome of a major environmental case.
