Justice Alito Recuses Himself Days Before Major Climate Case
Original: Justice Alito Recuses Himself Days Before Major Climate-Change Case
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate-change case just days before it was due to be heard, according to the New York Times. The move is notable because recusals by Supreme Court justices are rare, and Alito's absence could affect the court's balance in a case with far-reaching implications for climate regulation.
Why now: Rare Supreme Court recusals are unusual, and the timing before a high-stakes climate ruling raises questions about the reasons behind it
