The Supreme Court has overturned an obvious mistake made by Sotomayer when she was an appeals court judge, one in which the panel she was on voted to deny discrimination claims made by 19 white and 1 Hispanic firefighters in New Haven. The firefighters were denied promotions because the city felt that too few minority firefighters scored high enough on the tests, and they feared backlash from black firemen.
So, essentially Sotomayer said "screw Whitey". But had the players been reversed, you know damned well that the decision would have been the opposite, Sotomayer being the anti-white racist she is.
What's even more vexing are comments made by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt), who said it would be wrong to criticize Sotomayer over the decision, and that the decision would likely result in cutbacks on important protections for American families.
Ridiculous, but par for the course in the Nobama administration. Even though someone makes an obvious mistake, they can't be held liable for their actions, providing they're a Democrat. A GOP gaffe is fair game. And last time I checked, white families were American families, too. Where is the anguish over the bad decision that affected the protections for those families? Curiously, but not surprisingly, absent.
