$
SUMMARY
------------------------
Justice Alito conspicuously missed a Trump case, leaving the Supreme Court logs cryptic. No error message provided.

DETAILS
========================================
### 1. Command
$ npx news alito-trump-recusal --log-level debug
### 2. Output
[INFO] Initializing news fetch module...
[DEBUG] Query parameters: { case: 'MACTRUONG, DMT v. Trump, President. of U.S.', justice: 'Samuel Alito', involvement: 'none' }
[INFO] Accessing Supreme Court order log...
[WARN] Order received: Petition dismissed. Justice Alito explicitly noted 'no part' in consideration or decision.
[DEBUG] Timestamp: 3AM. Current caffeine level: critical.
[INFO] Case details: Petitioner DMT MacTruong alleges "egregious abuse of power, commission of high crimes, misdemeanors, treason" against Trump and Vance.
[DEBUG] Petitioner claims to have previously 'advised' Trump on avoiding impeachment via email. Potential version control conflict?
[ERROR] Reason for Alito's nonparticipation: NULL. Stacktrace below indicates potential null pointer exception or undocumented feature.
[SYSTEM ALERT] Unknown entity 'DMT MacTruong' attempting to manipulate political codebase. Severity: Low. Probability of success: Negligible.
[INFO] Previous Alito flag incident (inverted flag, Jan 2021) contextually relevant but not directly linked to this dismissal. Correlation vs. Causation module is running... slowly.
[DEBUG] User query: 'Why did Alito skip the case?' System response: 'Error 418: I'm a teapot. Recusal protocols not found.'
[INFO] Case dismissed via Rule 39.8. Motion for *in forma pauperis* denied.
[DEBUG] Final verdict: Case closed. Justice Alito's involvement status remains undefined. Proceeding to next task...
### 3. Stacktrace (If This News Were Code)
Error: UndefinedBehaviorException: Justice Alito exited the `considerAndDecide()` method without returning a value or invoking a `recuse()` or `participate()` method.

Caused by: NullPointerException: Reason for non-participation cannot be resolved from external configuration or internal state.

Panic! The judicial system's 'reason' module appears to be missing. Did a feature flag get accidentally toggled off? Or is this intended behavior?
Segmentation fault? Unexpected behavior? We're debugging the fabric of reality here, folks.
### 4. Patch Notes
- - Fixed:
MACTRUONG, DMT v. Trumpcase reached its logical conclusion (dismissal). - - INFO: Supreme Court order logs updated with Justice Alito's non-involvement, though specific reasons are now classified.
- - WARN: Petitioner's claims of advising on impeachment remain in the system logs as 'unverified assertions'.
- - DEBUG: Probability of understanding judicial recusals decreased by 15%.
- - REMOVED: Feature: 'Explanations for Judicial Non-Participation'. This was never implemented, but we're pretending.
- - STABILITY: System continues to operate, despite unexplained
nullvalues in critical processes.
