Altitude Express which is pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not protect lesbian, gay or bisexual people from discrimination, we believe this action is not only contrary to existing law, but violates our nation’s ideals of liberty and justice for all,” sixty-two US senators and members of the US House of Representatives said in an August 7 letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
