Discrimination Against White Firefighters!

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that a group of White firefighters in Conn. were discriminated against when their testing results for promotions were set-aside after it was discovered that no black firefighters were among the finalists.

While not presented as a major change in the law, this ruling is drawing attention as the lower court ruling that was overturned involved Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

I expect a lot of media attention on this issue, attempting to paint the current Supreme Court as "too conservative."
