Sen. Cory Booker takes the stage for the EqualityTownHall
From CNN legal analyst & Supreme Court biographer Joan Biskupicrevolving around a federal statute, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits job discrimination"because of sex."
After two hours of often-testy questioning on Tuesday, there was no clear majority to side with two gay men fired from their jobs, as a skydiving instructor and county child welfare services coordinator, and a transgender woman who lost her position as a funeral home director. The only one in the five-justice conservative wing who expressed some interest aligning with the four liberals was Justice Neil Gorsuch. Yet while Gorsuch said it might be"close" that Title VII's text covers gay or transgender individuals, he worried about the"massive social upheaval" that could come from such a ruling.: Most significantly, this is the first LGBTQ dispute heard since the 2018 retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy.
