I could make up a number of plausible scenarios in which he did, but don’t have enough evidence to say what is most likely.

Certainly. We could probably come up with 4 or 5 plausible scenarios.

Absent the evidence, do you have an opinion on what you believe to be most probable?

I guess we would have to consult Prince Douche for a final ruling, but I’ve worked with people who wouldn’t be courteous towards colleagues and co-workers and everybody thought they were a douche.

Not really. The fact that the others are all still wearing them, despite the fact that she continues to work remotely suggests it wasn’t really about her.

Not in the least.

Is lying bad or is it not?
If you think it’s bad, then “she did it first” isn’t an excuse for anybody else doing it.
If you think it’s not bad, then you don’t really care if she lied.

I know how I feel, which is why I gave the story a 2/10 based mostly on the other justices response. If she didn’t seem to be succumbing to the partisan hysteria that has infected this place, I’d have scored it higher. If the people who know her hadn’t signaled that they still respect her, I would have scored it lower. I think 2/10 is about right.

Just seems silly to jump to someone’s defense who was just called out for Lying.

Boy, you guys don't know how argumentation works. The idea is that if reason X (being a kind, respectful person) is sufficient reason for doing Z (wearing some item for a limited amount of time), then reason X (being a kind respectful person) + reason Y (doing the requested action may help protect the health of a close colleague) is even MORE reason to do Z.

In my job I use n95 mask to protect myself from silicosis. All you morons going out and buying these mask has caused a shortage and made it difficult for me and others in my profession to protect ourselves. Silicosis is a terrible way to die, so please be respectful and stop buying up our life saving ppe.

Sorry. He’s worked with people who would call Gorsuch a douche so clearly that’s a legit stance. Better luck next time 🤷‍♂️

I’ve worked with people well heck everyone I know would think he’s a douche. Even his fellow barristers.

What’s the issue? It’s not his responsibility to protect her. If she feels that she’s “immunocompromised” then she should stay at home.

Have you not gotten the memo @Boston Vol? It’s all of our’s duty to protect each other; not just our duty but our PATRIOTIC duty. #wereallinthistogether #wellgetthrroughthistogether #maskup #othercovidhashtags

As we've established, it's not really to "protect" each other, but to respect their beliefs by hiding our faces.

I go back to the idea there are millions of people stuck with this. To stop wearing the mask would be to admit they were foolish enough to go along with this farce. Most don’t have the guts to admit when they’ve been duped. Instead they’ll stay married to and double down on this foolishness.

Absolutely. 100%.

Knox County is literally the only system I know of closed for illness. How f'n hilarious is that? They should tell the judge to pound sand and force the issue. Hell, at this point, the masks actually appear more likely to INCREASE infections.

Same goes with the shots. CMS is about to force hospitals to fire workers essential to keeping our healthcare system functioning for not taking a shot that doesn't stop the acquisition or transmission of the Omicron strain.

Seen the survey where some women were given 4 pictures of men and asked to identify the sexiest one and 88% (EIGHTY-EIGHT PERCENT!!) said the man wearing a mask is sexier!!?? 6% of women have had sex wearing a mask and 25% more are open to trying the idea! We have a massive pandemic and it’s solely mental.

The hypothetical attendee is doing something of minimal inconvenience that they don’t see a need for and may not agree with out of concern for the feelings (at least) of someone else.

It seems pretty spot on.

One is done for respect of the tradition itself, not to make someone else feel comfortable. Wearing a mask because somebody incorrectly believes it makes them safer is simply taking part in their delusion. It isn't about kindness or respect. It is knuckling under to stupid people.

There are masks that actually make people safer. Those masks are provided by the Court to advocates, so I’m sure they’ve got them for the justices as well.

Maybe you’re the stupid person whose delusions should be ignored?

I do believe it is a mental illness. There is no data surrounding the actual virus to convince otherwise.

Sex with masks. Hope I never had to settle for a woman that ugly.
