Color-Blind Justice, At Least Until Obama Gets His Second Pick

EDITORIAL: Sotomayor reversed again - Washington Times: "Martin Luther King can rest easy. His dream is being protected by the Supreme Court - against and over the opinion of Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor.

The high court's landmark decision in Ricci v. DeStefano, the New Haven, Conn., firefighters case, is a dramatic stride toward the cherished goal of achieving a colorblind society. In Ricci, the court told us that people of ability can succeed regardless of skin color, and government bureaucrats seeking racially biased outcomes can be thwarted in their racist designs."


It's sad that the court is already so far gone that this obvious conclusion was only decided on a 5-4 basis.
