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, the New York Times reports. The timing, so close to arguments in one of the most consequential environmental cases on the docket, is drawing attention and questions about what prompted the withdrawal and how it might affect the court's balance on climate-related rulings.
Why now: A Supreme Court justice stepping aside right before a high-stakes climate ruling is highly unusual and fuels questions about the court's ethics and the case's outcome.
