Musk’s Trump Feud Explodes: Ego Clash Turns Ugly
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of Marlean Ames, an Ohio woman who alleged reverse discrimination based on her sexual orientation, overturning a Sixth Circuit precedent. The Court invalidated a stricter standard of proof for majority-group plaintiffs alleging discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This decision eliminates the requirement for such plaintiffs to demonstrate “background circumstances” of discrimination, impacting similar cases across 20 states and the District of Columbia. The case is remanded for reconsideration under the new, equal standard for all plaintiffs.
