I would hope the split is always close, if it isn't there is a HUGE problem when reviewing another courts ruling IMO.
In the original: In June 2008, Sotomayor was part of a 7-6 majority that denied a rehearing of the case by the full court. Lets get this straight, they scored higher on the test but didn't deserve promotion?? Quote:

Its about time, discrimination should work in both directions.
We had the same problem here with police were they said the tests are too hard for African Americans. So the city actual paid African Americans to avoid any major law suits. This is crazy either you got what it takes or you don't. This is a discrimination towards educated people, period! |

I can not believe Ginsburg's statement - just what was the purpose of taking the test?

I vote to remove the race checkbox from applications, examinations, etc. Let it be 100% purely by qualifications. But logic like that is far from reality.
