"A Wise Latino Woman..."

In the New Haven firefighters case, where Obama's Supreme Court Sotomayor voted as part of an Appellate Court ruling, to throw out promotion test results because only Whites and Latinos, but no Blacks, would have received promotions, the United States Supreme Court over-ruled, by a 5 to 4 vote, the Appellate Court. The broader implication is that this was a vote against Affirmative Action. Maybe that "wise Latino woman" is not all that wise. Fortuneately, Sotomayor will replace one of the four who voted to uphold her Appellate Court runing, so the Court will still have 5 Justices who apply the constitution and four who want to ignore the Constitution and use their "wisdom" to make social policy. Affirmative Action has outlasted its usefulness and moral justification by about two decades. It's about time that the Court put an end to racial quotas and preferences. This is 2009, not 1969, and anyone who can't qualify for a job or promotion or admission to a school based on their innate abilities and self actualization doesn't deserve the slot.
