NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/01/18/1073428376/supreme-court-justices-arent-scorpions-but-not-happy-campers-either">reported</a> Tuesday that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was refusing to do her job in-person because fellow Justice Neil Gorsuch, who is vaccinated and boosted like Sotomayor, is refusing to wear a mask after being asked.
The report, however, was quickly contradicted by reporting from Fox News&#8217; Shannon Bream Tuesday evening.
Speaking to Fox News&#8217; Bret Baier, Bream noted that the NPR report said Sotomayor &#8220;did not feel safe in close proximity to people who were unmasked.”
“Chief Justice John Roberts, understanding that, in some form asked the other Justices to mask up,&#8221; the NPR report claimed.
&#8220;It then says that Justice Gorsuch who normally sits right next to Sotomayor on the bench has repeatedly refused to do so and that’s forced Justice Sotomayor to operate remotely from her office for arguments and conferences,&#8221; Bream outlined.
&#8220;I am told that is not accurate,&#8221; the Fox News host asserted.
&#8220;A source at the Supreme Court says there has been no blanket admonition or request from Chief Justice Roberts that the other Justices begin wearing masks to arguments,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;The source further stated Justice Sotomayor did not make any such request to Justice Gorsuch. I&#8217;m told, given that fact, there was also no refusal by Justice Gorsuch.&#8221;
&#8220;The Justices are all vaccinated and boosted and they do test before taking the bench for arguments,&#8221; Bream noted.

As highlighted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/liberal-sotomayor-wont-attend-scotus-in-person-because-gorsuch-wont-wear-a-mask-report">The Daily Wire</a>, Sotomayor recently made false statements while hearing arguments regarding President Joe Biden&#8217;s vaccine mandates for private businesses and health care workers.
“We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in serious condition and many on ventilators,&#8221; the justice falsely stated.
“The number is not 100,000, it’s roughly 3,500 in hospitals now,&#8221; Baier corrected.

<blockquote>BRET BAIER: You know, Shannon, there is another mask story at the Supreme Court grabbing headlines about a dispute apparently over the justices wearing or not wearing masks. What have you been able to find out?
SHANNON BREAM: Okay. So, NPR published this story, Bret, saying that Justice Sotomayor, who has diabetes and has regularly been wearing a mask on the bench during arguments, expressed that she, quote, “Did not feel safe in close proximity to people who were unmasked.”
The story goes on to say, “Chief Justice John Roberts, understanding that, in some form asked the other Justices to mask up.” It then says that Justice Gorsuch who normally sits right next to Sotomayor on the bench has repeatedly refused to do so and that’s forced Justice Sotomayor to operate remotely from her office for arguments and conferences.  I am told that is not accurate.

BAIER: There you go. Straight in and out for us. We will see you tonight, Shannon. Thanks.</blockquote>
