Justice Alito Sits Out Supreme Court Climate Case
Original: Justice Alito Won’t Participate in Supreme Court Case on Climate Change
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito will not take part in a pending Supreme Court case concerning climate change, according to a Wall Street Journal report. His recusal means the case will be decided by the remaining eight justices, potentially raising the stakes for any split ruling. The reasons for his decision to step aside have not been detailed in the report.
Why now: Recusals by Supreme Court justices in high-impact climate litigation are rare and immediately draw scrutiny over the court's composition and the case's outcome.
