Importantly:

Justice Alito, who has recused himself from considering most petitions in related cases — including a separate 2023 petition in Boulder’s case and a 2025 petition in Honolulu’s case on the same issue — did not recuse from consideration of this Boulder petition. Alito owns stock in ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66, which are defendants in multiple similar climate deception lawsuits that would likely be impacted by a ruling in Boulder’s case.

This sharply ups the odds of an unfavorable decision.

Justice Alito

Alito needs to face Justice for what he's done to our country
