Those who adopted the Civil Rights Act might not have anticipated their work would lead to this particular result. Likely, they weren’t thinking about many of the act’s consequences that have become apparent over the years, including its prohibition against discrimination on the basis of motherhood or its ban on the sexual harassment of male employees. But the limits of the drafters’ imagination supply no reason to ignore the law’s demands.
In a separate dissent, Brett Kavanaugh disputed Gorsuch’s interpretation of the word sex in the 1964 law as representing a “literal” but not “ordinary” meaning of the term.
