[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC has a history of celebrating liberal-leaning Supreme Court wins and freaking out about conservative victories or justices at the high court. On Tuesday, senior legal correspondent Terry Moran used language like a “a new day” and hailed the “historic victory” for gay rights at the Court. Appearing on Good Morning America, Moran cheered, “This is a conservative court. It's one of the big surprises here as this case cut across those lines with one of President Trump's own appointees leading the way to a new day for LGBTQ Americans in the workplace.” The journalist continued, “In ringing terms the Supreme Court declared on Monday that employers can no longer discriminate against their employees simply because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Until this decision, that was legal in more than half the states.”
