TL;DR Summary

The Supreme Court indicated its intent to protect workers' rights by shutting down the anti-worker regime that requires victims to prove special harm in order to sue for discrimination. Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, along with liberal justices, united behind the plain language of the law to improve the lives of working people. However, their support for a vigorous enforcement of the law may have an ulterior motive, potentially impacting affirmative action in the workplace. The case in question involves a female police officer who was transferred to a less "dangerous" job due to her gender, and the Court is considering whether such transfers alone violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
