WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has ruled that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge.
The wise Latina got it wrong. Again.
Justice for Ricci and a blow to racial preferences.
Updates to come.
Update #1: Both the AP and NYT headlines read that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of white firefighters. WRONG. A Hispanic was also discriminated against when his test was tossed. Also of note is the glaring omission of Sotomayor’s name in their headlines.
Update #2: copy of decision in pdf
SPITFIRE MURPHY 
Lets hope this doesn’t drag on, but it most likely will. The mayor of New Haven is a bought and sold hack, shilling for ethnic minority votes, which is what this whole incident was about.NH is also a sanctuary city for illegals. Imagine that.
She seems like a great Affirmative Action choice for the Supreme Court…
She is in way over her head and a hard core ideologue, despite attempts to make her into a pragmatic judge.
As a firefighter, I could not be happier for the NH-20. What I do find discpicable has been the silence from the IAFF [International Association of Fire Fighters] union and the UPFFA [Uniformed Professional Fire Fighters of America-CT branch] After the announcement was read, there was a neutral comment by the IAFF, with the ending statement, that they would be investigating and commenting later. Nothing like staying on the fence.
