Justice Alito recuses from Supreme Court climate case
Original: Supreme Court Justice Alito will not participate in big climate change case next week
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito will not take part in a major climate change case when it is heard next week. The case is one of the most significant climate-related disputes to reach the Court, and his absence leaves eight justices to decide it, raising the possibility of a 4-4 split that would leave lower court rulings in place. No reason for his non-participation has been given in the announcement.
Why now: The Court is about to hear a high-stakes climate case and a justice stepping aside could change its outcome.
