Justice Alito recuses from climate case over oil holdings
Original: Justice Alito recuses self from climate change case after complaints over his oil and gas holdings
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has withdrawn from a climate change case after complaints were raised about his financial holdings in oil and gas companies. The recusal means he will not take part in the court's consideration of the dispute, which touches on matters central to climate litigation and energy industry interests.
Why now: Recusals from Supreme Court justices over financial conflicts are rare and raise fresh questions about ethics standards at the court.
