Leave aside the Post's odd failure to put in the headline the name of the person nominated--itself a nice example of the de-individualizing effect of identity politics

Very perceptive little point here.

People like Kristol, wuss-ass soft, non-confrontational ‘republican’ phonies are a primary reason that a zero like Sotomayor could ever even be considered for a Supreme Court post. Decades of pussing out by spokesmen for the right have allowed the cancer to spread. So screw you, Kristol, you fairy.

Ricci studied for eight to 13 hours a day to prepare for the combined written and oral exam in 2003

Coming next to the USA: racial "targets" for Certified Public Accountants.

If it weren't for the influx of women CPA's over the past 20 years, there certainly would be an outcry. There are very few racial minorities in the accounting profession.

Had I been in college when the requirement to be a CPA increased to 150 semester hours and a work requirement, I might have changed my major, too.

The Ricci case should make it a checkmate mental decision for most Americans. Simply put, most Americans don’t like the idea of someone being denied a promotion because of their “race.” This is an arch-type case of reverse discrimination or what I call affirmative discrimination. Conservatives should be hammering the libs on this particular issue.
