Where is the ‘empathy’ we heard so much about. The hypocrisy of these liberals makes me sick. This so-called empathy for the working class of which these pompous blowhards have bragged for decades is about to be thrown under the bus as soon as one of them threatens their power. Ricci was harmed by these people, eventually received some justice and now they are harming him again. A working class dyslexic fireman who studied like a monk to pass a test has proved to be such a threat to their socially engineered utopia that they now have to dig for dirt to destroy him - for this alone, Sotomayor’s complicity should deny her a seat on the court. Maybe they’ll break into his email, or check his state records like they did to Joe the Plumber, or maybe his daughter is a coke addict like Biden’s. These people have no decency when there is political power to steal, in their Machiavellian world, and like good communists, the ends justifies the means.
Sotomayor is so wrong on this issue, as in Obama, that they don’t have the guts to stand and defend their egregious position. Since theirs is an indefensible argument and politically rejected by the majority of Americans - they resort to ad hominem attacks and their chosen victim is a dyslexic fireman who struggled to pass a promotion test. This will backfire, because frankly, as much as Ricci was wrongfully harmed, he is not the issue on these neo-Nuremberg legal decisions that quota queen Sotomayor champions. Chief Justice Roberts said it right - ‘if you want to end racism then you have to end racism!’
A tactic like this has Rahm Emmanuel written all over it.
