Supreme Court Overrules Sotamayor On Ricci Decision


The Supreme Court overrules Sotamayor on Ricci decision today.

According to Breitbrat:
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.

Sotomayor was overturned 60% of the time by the Supreme Court prior to this decision.
I guess being a wise Latina woman didn't help prevent Sotamayor from making a poor judgment in this case.
