New Haven White Firefighters Win Supreme Court Appeal

On Monday, the New Haven Firefighters won their case in the Supreme Court which overturned a decision from high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

In 2003, the firefighters were unfairly denied promotions because of their race.

"The ruling could give Sotomayor’s critics fresh ammunition two weeks before her Senate confirmation hearing."

I’ve been blogging about this case for quite a while. It’s a nice glimmer of hope in the midst of so many negative decisions coming from Washington.
