Neil Gorsuch Reportedly Refuses To Wear Mask In Supreme Court, Forcing Others To Call In

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch doesn’t just sit in a stolen seat on the nation’s high court. He’s also apparently a terrible co-worker.

That’s a revelation in an NPR report that said Gorsuch refuses to wear a face mask to protect against COVID-19 ― even as the other justices do so amid the omicron surge.

Worse, the conservative justice refuses to go along with the public safety measure, although Chief Justice John Roberts has asked everyone on the court to mask up out of respect for Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who has had diabetes since childhood. Diabetes is a high-risk factor for developing severe COVID-19. Five of the justices, including Sotomayor, are older than 65, another risk factor.

Worse still: Gorsuch’s seat on the bench is right next to Sotomayor’s.
