"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster

A High-Tech Lynching

The Supreme Coirt found that the city of New Haven did discriminate against Frank Ricci and other white firefighters because of their race.

That ruling was a blow to Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, who not only ruled against the firefightes but did so in a perfunctory manner that implied they didn't even have a case.

So what do Sotomayor's supporters do? Attack Ricci. It seems he sued the city years earlier, and won, claiming they discriminated against him because he is dyslexic.

I thought her supporters were trying to emphazise how empathetic liberals are.
