Justice Alito Recuses Himself Days Before Major Climate Case
Original: Justice Alito Recuses Himself Days Before Major Climate-Change Case
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate-change case just days before it was set to be heard. The New York Times reported the surprise withdrawal, which removes one justice from proceedings that could shape how climate litigation proceeds in the United States. No reason for the recusal was given in the initial reporting, and legal observers are watching closely for what it means for the case's outcome.
Why now: A Supreme Court justice stepping aside from a landmark climate case at the last minute is highly unusual and could affect its result.
