Speaking of racists, let’s hope and pray this woman does NOT get confirmed for the SCOTUS bench.
Now, since 4 SCOTUS justices don’t think it was discrimination, I’m left wondering. How could it not be discrimination if the firefighters took the test in good faith, expecting to be promoted on the basis of their scores, seniority, etc. and all possibility of promotion was taken away by not certifying the test after the firefighters had completed it?
In other words, the firefighters kept their end of the bargain and the state cheesed out because Black firefighters didn’t pass. This test had been previously approved to be non racial - right? The results were trashed on a racial basis right? Why is it even possible to believe that the Anglo and Hispanic firefighters weren’t victims of racial discrimination? Someone please explain the legal theory behind that - OK?
How many of these PC weenies realize that they are bringing back a new kind of Jim Crow justice? It doesn’t matter if it’s white over black or black over white. It’s racial discrimination and racial discrimination is a legal and ethical abomination.
Now getting back to the “wise Hispanic woman” what kind of racist horse crap is she promoting and why should she therefore be considered as a viable SCOTUS candidate?
In reading the ‘brief’ and I do mean brief commentary on the opinions - I really think both sides are on the same side - which does not bode well for this anti-anti-discrimination take that these Liberal freaks are employing.
As Scalia (I think) intimated - this all goes to how Constitutional is the underlying belief and he (and apparently even many on the dissent side) don’t think it is Constitutional at all (Affirmative Action, some of the Civil Rights laws, and as I said, this anti-anti-discrimination - i.e. get thems since theys got us before tude).
I have to wonder as to exactly why they are not debating, considering and ruling on that issue and have only to conclude that the lawsuits are being aimed at the cover of the book not at the ‘meat’ inside or the other, which is horrible to consider - that they are taking the easy way out.
