NEW: A statement from Justices Sotomayor and Gorsuch: "Reporting that Justice Sotomayor asked Justice Gorsuch to wear a mask surprised us. It is false. While we may sometimes disagree about the law, we are warm colleagues and friends."
@adamliptak This story is in desperate need of a disability framing. Including this update. Please talk to people with disabilities and acknowledge the impact of her inability to get a reasonable accommodation.
@mrmrmrj @adamliptak It actually does mean enforcing change. Disabled people have been excluded for so long that even minor requests feels like huge shifts. Their presence is key. But it’s not really a huge shift, and everyone but Gorsuch will wear a mask.
@KatAMacfarlane @mrmrmrj @adamliptak We're not going to wear a mask for ever, it's ending. Your excuse for being a hermit is ending. What did "high risk" ppl do before everyone started wearing a mask? You don't get to force ppl to change.
