Gorsuch again doesn't wear mask on bench, Sotomayor and Breyer log in remotely for hearing

Gorsuch is an asshole




One of these justices is not like the others.

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch did not wear a mask for a hearing Tuesday, even as all the other justices in attendance did so, and as two of his colleagues appeared remotely due to apparent concerns about Covid-19.

Gorsuch has failed to wear a mask on the bench during oral arguments since Friday, while the other justices who physically appeared for arguments all did so in apparent recognition of the spread of the omicron variant of the coronavirus.......

Last week, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who normally sits next to Gorsuch during hearings, and who until recently had been the sole justice to wear a mask, began participating in arguments remotely through an audio connection to her chambers last Friday.

Sotomayor is diabetic, putting her more at risk from Covid.

You're not the boss of me.
You can't make me.

Libertarianism, which seems to be Gorsuch's controlling ideology, is the philosophy of spoiled children.

There's a lot of idiots that won't wear masks, but I doubt that attempted murder is on their minds.

it necessary to capitalize the p in prick?
What a foul and despicable person he is. To purposefully put his fellow justices in harms way is just evil. I think the qualities for being a justice on the Supreme court have fallen to the bottom of a pit. Shame on the people who enabled this jerk and the other unqualified asses now sitting on the highest court in the land.
Talk about needing a house cleaning!

…”You’re not the boss of me!” Like little children, they think they know everything and they don’t want anyone telling them what to do.

or at least viewed it as an alternative. He's really getting into playing to the trumpists.
