Justice Alito recuses from major climate case
Original: Justice Alito recuses from major climate-change case to be heard next week
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate-change case scheduled to be heard next week, according to the Washington Times. The recusal means the remaining eight justices will decide a dispute with significant implications for climate regulation. No reason for the step-aside was given in the report, and it is not yet clear how his absence might affect the outcome or the court's ruling.
Why now: The sudden recusal of a Supreme Court justice from a high-stakes climate case raises questions about its impact and his reasons.
