"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 (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."
