Just why justices like Sonia Sotomayor should think it awful to "stack the deck" against certain minorities but not against others may be one of those mysteries best left to her own law and conscience, for we can't think of any ready explanation for her selective indignation besides the old, obvious one: blind, invincible prejudice.
Sotomayor is Bull Conner standing with his dogs in the street... It's not her place to decide winners and losers... she's racist to the bone.
The truth is petty fascists like Sotomayor never want AA (or as I like to call it...Affirmative Discrimination) to end. They will always want preferences and will always shout “racism” when their demands are not met.
