(CNSNews.com) – U.S. Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, mentioned as a possible Supreme Court nominee, voted to deny a racial discrimination claim in a 2008 decision. She dismissed the case in a one-paragraph statement that, in the opinion of one dissenting judge, ignored the evidence and did not even address the constitutional issues raised by the case.
The case, Ricci v. DeStefano, involved a group of 19 white firefighters and one Hispanic firefighter who filed suit in 2003 claiming that the city of New Haven, Conn., engaged in racial discrimination when it threw out the results of two promotion tests because none of the city’s black applicants had passed the tests.
Each of the plaintiffs had passed the exam.

Come on. Everyone with a brain knows that only white people can be racist. Just ask Al Sharpton.
SR-:-)
Shoprat's right :0)
Honestly, Carol, that anybody could think that was a good decision defies sanity in America.
I was sorry to see Juan Williams tonight agreeing with the decision because 'there'd been so much discrimination'..apparently, the laws don't matter anymore.
They were WRONG to discriminate, but two wrongs don't make a right.
man
Z-'white' Christians put a stop to slavery in the West..countries in the East esp. still practice slavery-Somalia comes quickly to mind as do many Islamic countries...
