re: #132 BatGuano

They should have stood by the results of the test, promoted the firefighters, and fought the other lawsuit. As long as it was not heard before Sotomayor, they have a chance of winning. If not, Scotus would give them the final win and justice would be done.

I do not know. I do not see evidence in Sotomayor’s rulings - the limited I skimmed through - that she is a particularly biased justice.

You have to realize the employment discrimination law is what it is. I am not a fan of it - but you cannot get around what the law is. Sotomayor was not a radical, given that.

And thus while her comments about race and gender were ill-advised at best, this case is not necessarily evidence that her race and gender commentary was reflected in decisions she rendered.
