Sonia Sotomayor Reversed (Again) by US Supreme Court

Adding powerful credibility to the notion that Sonia Sotomayor is unqualified to serve on the highest court in the land, the SCOTUS today reversed a decision that Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge.

Significantly, the case involves race, an issue on which Sotomayor has made decidedly anti-Caucasian remarks in the past.

As reported in the Mercury News, in part:

“WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled today 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.

Extremely delighted to see that reverse discrimination has been defeated!
