Writing for the three dissenting justices, Justice Sotomayor declared that the SCOTUS limited immunity ruling “reshapes the institution of the Presidency” and undercuts the principle that “no man is above the law.”

Inclusive language activists immediately sounded off.

“No man is above the law? I suppose no man is an island and all men are created equal too,” Steph Graph said, whose pronouns are he’er, his’er, and him’er.

Graph has been a strong advocate of womyn’s rights since he’er graduated from culinary school.

“Sotomayor must have had a stroke since he’er just left half the population of the world out of he’r’er decision. It’s like he’er fell asleep and woke up in 2000 when there were just two genders.”

Toni Thomas (Xe/Xem/Xyrs) who is wearing an ACAB bandage over a scrape on xe knee that she got when xe tripped over a pile of bricks at a Peace For Palestine rally, echoed the Graph’s concerns.

“Does Sotomayor want us to go back to the oppression era when women were included in the word man?,” Thomas said. “We won’t let it happen. We won’t go silently into the night! Is it too much trouble to say ‘no person is above the law’”?

Julie Mulvaney (she/they) of the National Organization of Trans Womyn agreed. “As a Latinx, our sister should be down with the revolution, not undercutting it. What are they pronouns anyway? Is she still in the pronoun closet?”

Justice Sotomayor has been unavailable for comment since the controversy erupted, but when Justice Kentanji Jackson Brown was asked if Justice Sotomayor’s use of the word “man” was appropriate, she replied, “I don’t know. I’m not a biologist.”
