Gorscuh scolds Supreme Court litigator in rare, heated exchange

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch clashed with a veteran attorney during arguments in a disability rights case, delivering a rare public rebuke that turned heads at the Supreme Court.

Gorsuch scolded Williams & Connolly lawyer Lisa Blatt, an experienced Supreme Court litigator representing the Minnesota public schools, for accusing the plaintiffs of "lying" in their assertions before the high court. Breanne Deppisch is a national politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the Trump administration, with a focus on the Justice Department, FBI, and other national news. 

Plaintiffs in the case are representing the parents of a girl with severe epilepsy, who sued the public school for refusing to provide at-home school during the morning, an accommodation she would receive in other districts in the state.
