Last month, when the Supreme Court agreed to grant a petition from two oil companies, Suncor and Exxon, in a long-running dispute over whether the companies can be held liable under state law by Boulder, Colorado, for climate damages ensuing from their corporate misconduct, the most notable sentence was the one that was missing: “Justice Alito took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition.”
