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 set to be heard, according to the New York Times. The decision removes one justice from a closely watched dispute over climate policy, raising questions about how the remaining eight justices might divide and why the recusal came so late.
Why now: A late recusal by a conservative justice in a high-stakes climate case fuels speculation about its implications for the ruling
