SUPREME COURT DECIDES RICCI: ?The Supreme Court has ruled that white firefighters in New Haven, Con?

By Glenn Reynolds

ADVERTISEMENTS

SUPREME COURT DECIDES RICCI: “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.”

UPDATE: “Although there is a sharp 5-4 divide among the justices, not a single justice thought that Judge Sotomayor acted correctly in granting summary judgment for the City of New Haven.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: More here.

Further thoughts from Roger Pilon (”In its opinion today in Ricci v. DeStefano, the Supreme Court came down solidly for upholding the equal protection of the law.”) and Ilya Shapiro. (”Ricci is a victory for merit over racial politics?which is appropriate given that the ruling overturns a lower court panel that included Sonia Sotomayor.”)
