This post is excellent but missing one crucial piece of information: the airlines violated Emily's rights. Under Vermont law, there is no discretion requirement. The Vermont law simply states: "a mother may breastfeed her child in any place of public accomodation in which the mother and child would otherwise have a legal right to be." The airplane meets the definition of a place of public accomodation where Emily and her child had a legal right to be.
