The usual sources of outrage are all atwitter over the fact that Justice Sotomayor isn’t a queen with the authority to demand that other justices wear face gags at her behest. Apparently, the overweight and diabetic Sotomayor wants everyone around her to take extra precautions to care for her after she didn’t care for herself, which puts her in a higher risk category for COVID complications. While her Type 1 diabetes was not avoidable, Sotomayor’s weight problem is surely manageable through diet and exercise. She isn’t hiring a personal trainer or going on a diet; oh no, that would require personal responsibility. Instead, she is demanding that everyone around her wear masks or she will stay in her office and zoom into hearings.
What a perfect solution! That’s where she should stay.
Nina Totenberg reports that (1) the Chief Justice asked his colleagues to mask up out of respect for Sotomayor’s health concerns, (2) only Gorsuch refused, and (3) his refusal forced Sotomayor to participate in arguments and conference remotely.

Anyone at this point, when there are vaccines and therapeutics available to deal with COVID, who is still demanding that you do something to keep them safe should be given a hard “no.” Justice Gorsuch has done just that and is refusing to wear a mask. Good. Let the hypochondriacs live a life confined inside, alone, separated from all society, and ordering from Grubhub. The rest of us have things to do.
Life is risk, your highness.

SHe should get “fully vaxxed”.
Then she’ll have nothing to worry about.
“his refusal forced Sotomayor”
Why isn’t Roberts’ forcing of Gorsuch the unacceptable issue?
“...she didn’t care for herself”
~~~
Aint that america? Something to see
It’s sad, and it’s true, and I’m sure everyone on here knows people who didn’t take care of themselves. We have so many health vulnerable people in this country that we get to force everyone to take experimental injections
Also, having to “cope” with no common sense or logic must be difficult.
I guess this latina isn’t so wise after all.
Type 1 diabetes can be avoidable in some cases. And can be the persons respomsibility.
Type 2 diabetes unchecked can progress to Type 1 when the pancreas finally gives out.
Obese people eating horribly can from their own actions develop type 2 diabetes, which if they keep going, can damage their pancreas and lead to type 1 diabetes.
So no, its not an automatic pass on personal responsibility.
And she is way overweight. She has control over what she shovels into her mouth.
Why is she such a big baby? She doesn’t appear to have paid much attention to her health in the past.
In the game of “Victim”, she has more cards to play.
Don’t want a SCJ to catch the China cold.
She’s sticking noodles up her nose!
Oh my, the wise latinX seems to be as ignorant of CDC guidelines as she is of covid statistics.
Doesn’t she know that masks are ineffective now?
I’ll bet that, if this story gets widely reported, Gorsuch will be portrayed as the heavy.
Wasn’t Nina Totenburg the one who had the crush on Bill Clinton? AKA the kneepads comment?
Sorry, it was Nina Burleigh.
Nina Burleigh’s 1998 declaration that “I would be happy to give [Bill Clinton] a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think American women should be lining up with their presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs”?
Sotomeyer is an embarrassment to the bench and to the legal profession. She does not belong on the court!
“Anyone at this point, when there are vaccines and therapeutics available to deal with COVID, who is still demanding that you do something to keep them safe should be given a hard “no.” “
Agreed
Now, if onlhy we could get the Goobemrint, at all levels, to admit this and follow it.
Isn’t Justice Sotomayor the one who found her self shocked by the existence of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution? Perhaps she is too fragile both physically and mentally to serve on SCOTUS.
The Wide Latina.
Apparently fox News reported that the story was a fake. I didn’t hear the report, so can comment about what they found
That NPR report that Justice Neil Gorsuch refused to wear a mask at the request of Justice Sonia Sotomayor? It may be fake news.
