Right-wing Supreme Court ruling may backfire on ex-Trump lawyer suing over snubbed pierogi

One of Jeffrey Epstein's former lawyers, Alan Dershowitz, is claiming people on Martha's Vineyard are discriminating against him, so he intends to sue his way into the community. But an anti-LBGTQ ruling from the Supreme Court could doom his lawsuit.

Dershowitz, who defended President Donald Trump during his first impeachment hearing, was caught on video accusing a local vendor of discriminating against him.
