Conservative groups say Justice Kagan cannot be impartial in upcoming Supreme Court climate litigation

Conservative legal organizations are urging a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation into Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan over allegations she failed to recuse herself from a climate change case, Suncor Energy v. Boulder County, due to her prior endorsement of a scientific evidence manual containing a removed climate science chapter. The coalition claims the manual's bias compromised Kagan's impartiality, as it promoted legal theories central to lawsuits against oil and gas companies.
