I don't expect the nay-sayers here to believe this.
Given how this rumor has spread (compliments of an uninformed NPR reporter), I would also anticipate an official statement about this story would soon come from SCOTUS.


Nina Totenberg has covered the court for decades. So believe her, or an unnamed source at Fox News? Also, if every other Justice was masked, maybe that would be a clue for Gorsuch.

If he had a real job, he'd get fired for pulling that stunt.

I heard you're an anonymous troll who enjoys making up stories.

An a-hole nominated another a-hole. What a surprise!

The seats are by seniority. Moving her would either require her to take a less senior seat or for a more senior Justice to do so.

It would be better than them sitting right next to each other, but with omicron, it wouldn't mitigate the risk enough. It's also not just during oral arguments. When the justices meet in conference, they are presumably in a room sized appropriately for a group that size. Sotomayor also attended conference via Zoom as well.

Roberts should send Gorsuch home to do Zoom Court until he wears a mask.
Or whoever is on the other side of the dais should offer to switch seats with Sotomayor.
Or Roberts should reorder the seating.
Lots of ways to handle this OTHER than Sotomayor having to be at home. What isn't being reported is whether those other options were considered at all.

I guess I haven't become a total cynic yet, because I find this news quite shocking. I disagree with him on just about everything, but I thought Gorsuch was a better human being this. Wow.
