What kills me about this case is that Sotomayor, Obama and 4 of their friends in SCOTUS think it is fine to have people die in a fire as long as the person in charge is Black. Shouldn't the MOST experienced, the MOST qualified, the MOST credentialed and the HIGHEST person evaluated, regardless of gender or race, be the one who should be promoted to protect innocent children, parents and the elderly from burning alive in a fire?

They are twisting this to make is sound as if a test could be slanted to give Whites and Hispanics a better score. This is all about Black. Do African American homes burn down any different than any other home? Does it take longer for a White or Hispanic's water to put out a fire because their water decides to come out of the hose with a different chemical makeup rather than H2O? But as soon as a Black man uses the hose all of a sudden water works? They didn't score well on the test for some reason. Did they study? Does their inexperience reflect on the test scores? Were they all having a bad day? Did they figure that since they are Black they already had a leg up on everyone so they didn't have to try as hard? If that is true, should they be the ones who stand between the innocent and a burning death?

Face it. This is about putting one race ahead of all others. It isn't about putting the very best we have to offer on the front line of safety where the most talent can be brought to bare. It isn't about putting safety first at all. It is race first and the hell with the innocent who die in fires. Makes me sick.

Sotomayor is a dangerous person and I hope she is discarded for the SC. It makes you wonder why Obama picked her knowing the SCOTUS ruling on this case was lurking. Why would he choose her at such a time?
