Justice Alito Recuses Himself from Supreme Court Climate Case
Original: Justice Alito Won’t Participate in Supreme Court Case on Climate Change
Justice Samuel Alito will not take part in a Supreme Court case concerning climate change, according to the Wall Street Journal. His recusal leaves the remaining eight justices to decide the matter, potentially raising the chances of a 4-4 split that would leave lower-court rulings in place. No reason for his withdrawal from the case was given in the report.
Why now: A Supreme Court justice stepping aside from a major climate case is unusual and could affect the outcome.
