The quality of the work means nothing. It’s the skin tone of the workers that really matters. No wonder our “infrastructure” is going to hell. This “judge” needs his ass kicked.

The libs aren’t going to let a little thing like a voter-approved proposition or, Heaven Forbid, the Constitution, from interfering with their agenda.

California deserves highways build by gangs of black lesbian illegal aliens. As long as they are proud union members of course.

UNKO, when the laws are written with caviats that completely over ride their meaning, you have no law. So, let me get this straight, the (.)bama DOT said they would lose federal funding if they did not have a race discriminatory contracting letting procedure. So, the judge says, ok, therefore our state constitution has no say in this. When did federal REGULATION supercede a state’s constitution, yeah I know state law is below federal law BUT, this is not a law, it is a regulation. Somehow the 10th should be supreme here. Anyway, day by day we keep getting closer to Rev 2, in fact, we are in the final seconds count down.

Does this even make the news? I live and work in L.A. It’s pretty much wets vs whites here. Thank you so much white-guilt ridden liberals. You gave up our country to foreigners who hate us.

“Assistant U.S. attorney, United States Attorney’s Office, Northern District of California, 1984-1986”...I wonder where he went off the rails...he worked, for a short time, for the best US Attorney I ever had the pleasure of working with: Joe Russinello. Had Russinello not taken on Bush I, Noriega would have walked.

Here’s a novel concept. How about the company that does the best work for the best possible price gets the job.

In the case, Pigs vs. Animal Farm Critters, the judge ruled that "while all animals are created equal, some are more equal than others."

This decision will now be appealed to the 9th Circuit, where it will be upheld. Then, God Willing, it will be heard by the Supreme Court which will vote 5-4 to dump.

Well, this explains the highway 92 / 880 interchange that’s been a construction nightmare for years now.
Where the Japanese had their roads repaired in 6 DAYS after the tsunami, we have to go year, after year, after year of traffic jams and no perceptible progress on this heavily traveled route.
We are no longer a state that can do anything. Ugh.

Just more liberal activism from the bench in Taxifornia. The state is dead — just another liberal crap-pot, overrun by illegals and deadbeats that want to steal from what producers are left in the state. Businesses and taxpayers are leaving the state in record numbers, and the libs in Sacramento do not care. Sales taxes are well over 10% in some areas.
The Midas touch of liberalism has destroyed Taxifornia. And the scumbags that are left keep voting the liberals back into control. RIP Taxifornia. Once a great state.

Caltrans argued it was remedying discrimination against minorities and women with the DBE program because these groups only received three percent of the contracts under race-neutral policiesSo when contracts are awarded fairly, they don't like the outcome.We truly are living in an insane asylum.

“disadvantaged businesses”
