I don't know all the details of this case. If I did I might feel it was right or wrong. But the law of the land circa 1995 is The Supreme Court in a 1995 ruling in the case imposed tough new standards before the government can give preferences for minorities. After the ruling, Congress reauthorized the law and the Transportation Department revised the program. Now this case may fit into the criterion and it's the law of the land as passed by congress and signed by the president. So the Government has to be the advocate of the law of the land. It called being honest and carrying out your duty. The executive branch carries out the current law of the land. You see this is not the mr. bill I'm above the law presidency. The concept is you don't make law in the executive branch. tom watson tosiwmee
