Demand Justice Alito's Recusal From Fossil Fuel Cases

Justice Samuel Alito must recuse himself from any Supreme Court cases involving fossil fuel interests. Reports show he received as much as $2.9 million from those industries while serving on the Court. That is not a gray area — that is a direct financial conflict of interest, and it poisons the legitimacy of every energy-related ruling he participates in. I expect you to use your platform and authority to demand accountability here. Call publicly for Alito's recusal, support stronger Supreme Court ethics legislation, and make clear that no justice is above the basic conflict-of-interest standards that apply to every other federal judge. The Court's credibility depends on it.
