but if more cases like Ricci turn up then she ought to have account for them. It appears to be racist to me."

Read the case first. If she had overturned it, she would have been the type of activist judge you claim she is.


Plus, she was one of a panel of three judges. I don't think she could have overturned the ruling on her own without the consent of the other judges.

The other part of this case that doesn't get much attention is the fact that the city was thinking of relying only on the test when promoting. Typically when advancing a person, the criteria for advancement is based on several things including a person's performance on the job......kind of like when getting your driver's license......first you take the written test and then you do some actually driving to prove you can do it. For some reason, only the test was getting consideration for this promotion which is a bid odd.
