The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a case that could ease the burden for plaintiffs alleging reverse discrimination. The court appears inclined to support an Ohio woman who claims she faced sex discrimination at work due to her sexual orientation as a straight woman. Legal analysts suggest that a 'radical agreement' among justices could lead to a favorable outcome for her case. The court is also examining whether plaintiffs from majority groups alleging discrimination should face a higher burden of proof compared to those from minority groups. This discussion comes amidst the court's issuance of four decisions, including one that mandates a new trial in a long-standing death penalty case.
