Supreme Court’s Gorsuch refused to wear mask despite request

Supreme Court’s Gorsuch refused to wear mask despite request over Sotomayor’s Covid concerns, report says

• Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has refused to wear a mask during proceedings, despite a request from Chief Justice John Roberts to do so, according to a report.
• Gorsuch’s continued defiance has led Justice Sonia Sotomayor — who has diabetes and is therefore at a higher risk of serious illness from Covid — to attend oral arguments remotely, the report said.
• Roberts “in some form” asked the justices to wear masks, NPR reported. Gorsuch, a nominee of former President Donald Trump, was reportedly the only one to refuse.
