Alito Says Recusal in Climate Case Is ‘Prudent’ But Not Required
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito stated that his recusal from a climate case involving Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy is ‘prudent’ but not legally required. His decision, influenced by ownership of stock in related companies, could affect the outcome of similar lawsuits. The case is set for argument next Monday, potentially impacting numerous suits against energy firms.
