Court Rules for White Firefighters in Discrimination Case - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529409,00.html)
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a group of white firefighters in Connecticut were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision endorsed by high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

Not sure if this will change anything.

why would it?

why would it?

Well it can call into question her interpretation of law and this is the same court she is nominated that has struck down a hand full of her rulings.

I don't see aything wrong with Sotomayor's statement, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." I agree with her completely.

Well couldn't you say that a white males would reach a better conclusion than a latino female who hasn't lived that life style?

she did what a judge is supposed to do, follow precedent

Maybe thats all she ever did was open a book look up prior cases and then just rule like them. Heck, I could do that.

why would it?

Indeed. No reason why it would. The case had already been flagged as one that Republicans were expected to challenge her on during her confirmation hearings anyway, and a 5-4 decision overruling the opinion (one she joined but did not write) doesn't exactly give the Republicans an "ah-ha!" moment.

Slavery was precedent too.

I'm waiting for firstdown to write Roosevelt was Precedent too :)
