Supreme Court Sees Sotomayor's ruling as incorrect, finds that the opinion of a 'wise latina with the richness of her experiences' discriminated against some white firefighters in this case; probably won't stop the socialists from confirming her to the high court though.

Ricci v. Destafano Overturned
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 10:14 AM

A decision by Sonia Sotomayor and two other judges was overruled by the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision this morning. The move probably won't impact her confirmation but will undoubtedly provide more fodder for critics who are focusing in on Sotomayor's views on race.

The ruling, Ricci v. Destafano, said that 20 white firefighters who were denied a promotion after they took a leadership test were unfairly discriminated against; the test results that would've qualified them for the promotion were thrown out after no black firefighters scored high enough. Sotomayor had previously ruled that discriminating based on race was acceptable in this situation.

Goose this is what you get. 

Gander this is what you get.

What an absolute joke that this had to be decided by the highest court in the land and that four of them even thought it was ok!  Fuck equality I guess.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

It's only going to get worse. Sotomayor will be confirmed and then you have Ginsberg with pancreatic cancer, and you never know if it gets worse, opens the door for "Neo" to nominate another.  Sad days seem to be on the horizon.

Stevens and, especially, Kennedy are the two that I am more worried about should they retire during The ONE's reign.  They seem to be the most critical swing votes.  Obviously if Scalia and/or Thomas retires then there will be a major imbalance on the Supreme Court.
