Justice Sonia Sotomayor cited Professor Jim Oleske in the 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, same-sex wedding website, dissent, as she listed examples of how a public accommodations law ensures equal dignity in the common market. She quoted from Oleske, “‘The hardship Jackie Robinson suffered when on the road’ with his baseball team ‘was not an inability to find some hotel that would have him; it was the indignity of not being allowed to stay in the same hotel as his white teammates.’ J. Oleske, The Evolution of Accommodation, 50 Harv. Civ. Rights-Civ. Lib. L. Rev. 99, 138 (2015).”
