The Supreme Court rejected a bid to block a federal mask mandate on airplanes. The application was filed by a passenger who says he and his son are unable to wear masks for long periods of time due to medical conditions. In related news, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has been listening to arguments and participating in debates remotely since some of her colleagues, including fellow Justice Neil Gorsuch, reportedly refuse to wear a mask. Sotomayor has diabetes, putting her at increased risk if she contracts COVID-19.
