Default Who is Frank Ricci?

He could turn out to be a very important person in the case against Sonia Sotomayor. She's pretty much a slam dunk, though her vapid response to the affirmative action challenge doesn't pass the smell test.

The mediocre beetch thought she could sweep it under the rug. Sorry, Sonia, now you'll never be able to live it down.

He could also jeopardize his appeals... otoh she did what she did in the context of the law and in conjunction with two other lawyers .. she did not act alone, it is not as though she met him in the hall and said "gonna get you white boy"....

Seems as though people are grabbing on to false hope by believing that Ricci can make a difference, pretty confident that she will be questioned on the merits of the case not the personalities of the people involved ... Justice is supposed to be blind.. or so they say.

Not quite sure why polls are taken about this stuff, as Justice is supposed to be blind.. but it is what it is.

National Journal Online -- The Ninth Justice -- Sotomayor's Stance In Ricci Doesn't Hurt Her

Quote:
Most Americans disagree with Sonia Sotomayor's decision in the New Haven, Conn., firefighters case, but most also say her ruling doesn't make them more or less likely to support her nomination to the Supreme Court, a new poll finds.

The Quinnipiac University poll, released this morning, shows that 59 percent of respondents said Sotomayor's vote in Ricci v. DeStefano doesn't make a difference to them, while 28 percent say it makes them less likely to support her nomination and 7 percent say it makes them more likely. Republicans don't show overwhelming opposition based on this one case: 48 percent said it would make them less likely to support her, while 43 percent said it wouldn't make a difference.

Democratic majority, union fight, their biggest support group...gee hard to see why it might be an issue with many people

That and the other overturned cases have merit...especially when one of the most important cases that can and will affect civil service testing across the country.

But why let a major overturned case like that get in the way all the "personal qualifications" that surround her

Why hold her accountable for how she voted and what she said on the bench when it will affect the country for the better or worse for the next 25-30 years?

Trotting out the justice is supposed to be blind line?

Save us the whining, you are mad that people found something that will affect them directly that she is linked to and that she is the face of.

Heaven forbid they grill her anywhere near half as hard as the last three nominees were grilled...

There is no whine, the reality is that Roberts got the soft touch approach.. Specter treated him with kid gloves.. not sure you watched the hearings, but it was slow curve after slow curve...

Do you understand completely the merits of the case, and are aware of course there was a triumvirate who decided this..
That and the other overturned cases have merit...especially when one of the most important cases that can and will affect civil service testing across the country.

What other cases, if I remember correctly she was overturned on a total of 4 cases.. none of which have been mentioned..

But why let a major overturned case like that get in the way all the "personal qualifications" that surround her

Do not understand this point..

Why hold her accountable for how she voted and what she said on the bench when it will affect the country for the better or worse for the next 25-30 years?

She will be held accountable, but if people are looking for something really bad about her and her decisions they will probably not find it.. even though the righties whine about time

Anyways have fun, her nomination is probably gonna happen and there is not a whole lot that can be done about it..

Sonia is a affirmative action balabusta. The country's smartest man, Dr. Thomas Sowell, says the same thing without the Yiddish:
Equality...or pay-back?

If Dr. Sowell says so, must be correct, nice to see you anointed him with this position as Country's Smartest Man.. he is just another right winger .. one nice thing about all of his right wing views is that he does endorse the decriminalization of pot...
