Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Justice Sonia Sotomayor

The brave Justices who once sat on this Court decisively rejected those claims.” - Justice Sonia Sotomayor, dissenting to the Supreme Court’s decision in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, which held that business owners have the right under the First Amendment to refuse service to LGVTQ+ people
