"That Justice Sotomayor is choosing to participate in #SCOTUS arguments remotely because Justice Gorsuch (and *only* Justice Gorsuch) refuses to wear a mask on the bench is such a perfect microcosm of how millions of Americans are experiencing the pandemic-from both perspectives." -- Steve Vladeck ([twitter.com profile] steve_vladeck), 2022-01-18

In response to replies critical of bothsiderism, Vladeck later clarified:

"Saying that this is reflective of two very different prevailing perspectives on-and individual approaches to-the COVID pandemic is not the same thing as saying that those perspectives are equally legitimate.

"It seems a matter of fact that there are lots of Gorsuch's out there."

"As a disabled person you sometimes grow up naively thinking if you work hard, stand out in the 'right' ways & succeed you might achieve your way out of ableism.

"Sotomayor is part of the 'supreme Law of the Land' & her colleague can't even do the least to keep her safe."

Privilege means you can ignore the infringements of your pursuit of happiness upon anyone else's life and liberty.

You'd hope that a Justice would realize that these conflicts are a reason why we need courts.

I saw the original post on Twitter and was surprised to see comments that people thought he was both-sides-ing (legitimating) and he needed to clarify later. I got it right away.
