In this rapid-response episode, Thomas and Andrew discuss the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals’ en banc decision in Zarda v. Altitude Express, ruling that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s ban on discrimination on the basis of sex applies to sexual orientation as well. This is a follow-up to our prior discussions of this issue back in Episode 60 and Episode 91.
In the initial segment, Andrew tackles a question from Twitter about the James Damore lawsuit and employment law in general after our most recent coverage in Episode 150.
After the main discussion of Zarda, the guys discuss some of the fallout from the Parkland shooting, including decisions by Dick’s Sporting Goods and Wal-Mart to cease certain kinds of gun sales. Is this inappropriate age discrimination? Listen and find out!
Finally, we end with an all-new TTTBE #65 about vegan criminal law. You won’t want to miss it! Remember that you can play along with #TTTBE by retweeting our episode on Twitter or sharing it on Facebook along with your guess. We’ll release the answer on next Tuesday’s episode along with our favorite entry!
