While we wait for the #scotus to further erode #lgbtq rights turns out the veracity of key document in the case is questionable.
The email is disputed, sender say he never sent it and he’s not gay. It was already a fake case to begin with now the evidence looks fake too.

Always remember that when acting as a court of appeals the Supreme Court isn't judging the basic case so much as it's judging what lower courts have done.
Whether the email is fraudulent is an issue for the lower court. SCOTUS isn't there to judge the evidence. It's there to judge the question presented from the lower court.
So SCOTUS is there to scrutinize what the 10th Circuit did while assuming its reading of the facts to be correct for the sake of the argument.
