Something bizarre has happened in America!
It's unbelievable. Moreover, in the Supreme Court, the justices who were sitting on their stomachs quarreled because of a mask.
Anyway, when I woke up, this matter was on the hot search in the United States, and it made a lot of noise.
Here's roughly what it is.
1, Among the 9 justices of the US Supreme Court, 67-year-old female judge Sonia Sotomayor, suffers from some kind of severe diabetes, and the new crown virus is considered to have a high fatality rate for this disease, so Sonya used to work and wore a mask.
2, now that Aumechjong is wreaking havoc on the United States, the situation is even more serious. The risk of Sonia wearing a mask herself is still too high. Chief Justice John Roberts then asked that all nine justices wear masks when they decide cases face-to-face.
3, wear a mask and respect others. Anyway, the 8 justices consciously wore masks, but the 54-year-old Justice Neil Gorsuch resolutely did not wear them, and what is worse, according to the order of the US Supreme Court, Gorsuch and Sonia's seats were still next to each other.
4. What to do? Gorsuch was adamant not to wear it, Sonia was dangerous, and Chief Justice Roberts was helpless. As a result, the U.S. Supreme Court collapsed, with nine justices meeting, eight people coming face to face, and Sonia remotely video involved.
That's the thing, because of a mask, the U.S. Supreme Court "broke up."
Isn't that just a mask, As far as Gorsach is concerned?
You know, Sonia is a woman, more than 10 years older than Gosach, and she is seriously ill. According to our ordinary people's understanding, giving people roses, hands have afterscent, not to mention, for the safety of an elderly person's life, wearing a mask, is it a matter of principle?
For Gorsuch, masks are a matter of principle.
According to the analysis of many Americans, Gorsuch resolutely does not wear a mask, just two words: freedom.
What respects women, what gentlemanly demeanor, what Lady First, what life is in danger, in the face of Gorsuch's freedom, everything can be thrown away.
Not wearing it is not wearing it.
Anyway, looking at American social media, Americans were stunned by this inside story of the Supreme Court. Some scolded Gorsuch for being too old-fashioned, too lacking in gentlemanliness, too disrespectful to women and life.
One person scolded: I can't imagine how asshole you are, a colleague sitting next to you, asking you to put on a mask, and you reject her.
So much so that someone specially PS a picture, 9 justices took family portraits, 8 people wore masks, only the expressionless Gorsuch, just don't wear it.
But, you know, this is in the United States.
If there is opposition, there is strong support. In the eyes of many Americans, Gorsuch is not only right, but also a "hero" and a tough guy. It is your freedom to wear a mask if you want, but Gorsuch has the right to "say no to those who are pretentious."
American politics, interesting.
Of course, behind the mask problem, there is also a delicate political ecology of the US Supreme Court.
There are 9 justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, generally divided into liberals and conservatives. Sonia was nominated by Obama that year and belonged to the liberals; Gorsuch was appointed by Trump, belonged to the conservatives, and was a more conservative conservative.
Trump's biggest political legacy, widely believed, is not his policies — many of his policies have been kicked in the trash as Biden took office — but the U.S. Supreme Court justices he appointed, and it has to be said that Trump is a "blessing marshal", and he has appointed 3 of the 9 justices.
Justices are all tenured, and Trump has changed the ecology of the Supreme Court in one fell swoop, and has also broken the political balance of the United States... Don't forget, many unresolved political contradictions and election results are finally decided by the Supreme Court.
Back to the mask issue. Remember that at the beginning of the epidemic in 2020, wearing a mask or not was a very tearing problem in the United States. Trump resolutely refused to wear it, and even once demanded that White House personnel should not wear it. What is the system of wearing a mask in the United States?
Of course, there is also a speculation from the outside world that these Americans are resolutely not wearing them, which may also be related to the fact that we Orientals, especially Chinese, are too conscious of wearing masks. These Americans are very humiliated, how can they learn to wear masks from Chinese? Illness and death are small, loss of control is big, and not wearing it is not wearing it.
Only later, the epidemic raged, and even attacked the White House several times, Trump himself was recruited to isolate, and under the repeated appeals of Fauci and others, masks were popularized in the White House.
But what I didn't expect was that two years later, because of a mask, the Supreme Court tore it again, and even made a fuss to the point where I didn't have you.
This is the highest judge in the United States.
I can't help but think of academician Zhong Nanshan's recent lament: Western countries often preach and pay attention to "human rights", the most important thing is the right to have individual freedom, under the epidemic situation, there is freedom not to wear masks, there is freedom to assemble, there is freedom not to vaccinate, resulting in the epidemic raging, constantly recurring a large number of infected people and deaths...
Therefore, recently, more than 1 million new cases have been confirmed in the United States every day, and the number of deaths has exceeded 850,000.
850,000 lives! More than the combined number of U.S. deaths in World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War, and Afghanistan War combined.
But in the U.S. Supreme Court, there is still a quarrel over a mask.
So much so that americans asked: If One day Gorsuch went to the hospital for surgery, would he be determined not to wear a mask, or even to pull down the doctor's mask?
Or, should Justice Sonia launch a lawsuit to demand that Gorsach wear a mask, and the case ends in the Supreme Court, where nine justices decide face-to-face. Oh, can't face each other, Sonia can only decide the case remotely...
Finally, don't want to say anything more.
The new crown dictatorship is all kinds of disobedience. But from a realistic point of view, the farce is still playing out, Trump is convinced, but Gorsuch and others are still very dissatisfied.
Alas, in this world, ignorance is not the biggest obstacle, arrogance is.
