Did you hear about this and Kavanaugh?

It was pretty jarring earlier this month when the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court took the bench for the first time since the omicron surge over the holidays. All were now wearing masks. All, that is, except Justice Neil Gorsuch. What's more, Justice Sonia Sotomayor was not there at all, choosing instead to participate through a microphone setup in her chambers.

Sotomayor has diabetes, a condition that puts her at high risk for serious illness, or even death, from COVID-19. She has been the only justice to wear a mask on the bench since last fall when, amid a marked decline in COVID-19 cases, the justices resumed in-person arguments for the first time since the onset of the pandemic.

Now, though, the situation had changed with the omicron surge, and according to court sources, Sotomayor did not feel safe in close proximity to people who were unmasked. Chief Justice John Roberts, understanding that, in some form asked the other justices to mask up.

They all did. Except Gorsuch, who, as it happens, sits next to Sotomayor on the bench. His continued refusal since then has also meant that Sotomayor has not attended the justices' weekly conference in person, joining instead by telephone.



Now lefty before you wet your pants, this story is false. NPR which we pay for is a lefty talking point machine and nothing more and should be disbanded or at least lose all public funding.

So now you believe the "lefty media", CBS?

Did it occur to you that the scotus doesn't want to get into this pissing contest?
Actually, several media organizations are reporting the same thing. By the way, please feel free to show us all where I have ever stated anything about the “lefty media”. One…two…three….GO!

I'm sure they did. So?

Why do you think the scotus should be involved in media reports when making their decisions? Never mind. The scotus is owned by fox n3wz.

"By the way, please feel free to show us all where I have ever stated anything about the “lefty media”. One…two…three….GO!"

I didn't personally accuse you of attacking the MSM. I made clear that it's the right wing propaganda that's at fault.

Has guilt flooded you by me making that statement?

Actually….YES you did accuse me! Your exact quote: “So now YOU believe the lefty media”. Please show me where I ever made a statement in which I made reference to the lefty media. I will wait……either proved the quote of me saying such a thing, or apologize.

No I didn't.

Do you know what a '?' means?
