U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor works remotely after Neil Gorsuch refuses to wear mask
Washington, January 19 (RHC)-- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has been listening to arguments and participating in debates remotely since some of her colleagues, including fellow Justice Neil Gorsuch, reportedly refuse to wear a mask. Gorsuch is a right-wing justice, nominated by former President Donald Trump in 2017.
Sotomayor has diabetes, putting her at increased risk if she contracts COVID-19.
In related news, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a bid to block a federal mask mandate on airplanes. The application was filed by a passenger who says he and his son are unable to wear masks for long periods of time due to medical conditions.
