Justice Alito recuses himself from major Supreme Court climate case
Original: Justice Alito recuses himself from major Supreme Court climate change case
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate change case before the Court, according to a report by the Washington Examiner. The move leaves eight justices to hear the dispute, raising the possibility of a 4-4 split. No reason for the recusal was given, and the development is drawing attention to how the vacancy-free but shorthanded bench may handle one of its most consequential environmental rulings.
Why now: Recusals in major Supreme Court cases are rare, and losing a vote on a landmark climate dispute could change the outcome.
