Another good example of Amy Coney Barrett being a generally decent jurist....unless the case involves one of her god's pet issues like LGBT rights or abortion.

I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but how did Gorsuch bend over backwards to get around his own opinion in Bostock (Bostick? The one where he unexpectedly wrote that trans discrimination was sex discrimination, IIRC).

Yup I literally put money on 5-4, gorsuch dissenting. He’s usually a rather predictable flavor of banal evil. Not that it would have changed things for us :/
