Racism is wrong. Which is why the majority is right.
Supreme Court vs. Sotomayor [Ed Whelan]
Judge Sotomayor thought it appropriate to use an unpublished summary order to dispose of the claims of the New Haven firefighters in Ricci v. DeStefano. Today the Supreme Court issued 93 pages of opinions in the case that Sotomayor acted to bury.
Further, although there is a sharp 5-4 divide among the justices, not a single justice thought that Judge Sotomayor acted correctly in granting summary judgment for the City of New Haven.

“. . . not a single justice thought that Judge Sotomayor acted correctly in granting summary judgment for the City of New Haven.”
So, in one sense, it was 9-0, right?
Sotomayer has admitted her race biases. Were she a Republican, she’d already be history.
Off subject, but Madoff was sentenced to 150 years. Whoa.
She’s not looking so wise now, eh?
Not to be a sore winner on this one, but I can’t help but think the dissenting justices to some extent just did not want to overturn Sotomayor leading up to conformation hearings although I have not read the opinion yet.
