#1 Unless Obama can fill another two seats, hard quotas won't survive SCOTUS' already established precedent.

#4 Didn't the Supreme Court rule on a similar case last year in the contrary manner? Ricci v. DeStefano was decided on June 29, 2009 and said that the city of New Haven, CT illegally discriminated against white firefighters who were denied promotion because the department had strict racial quotas.

#5 Unless Obama can fill another two seats, hard quotas won't survive SCOTUS' already established precedent.

I think Ogabe would need just one more - if he was replacing Kennedy or one of the conservatives. Here's the current ideological scoreboard on SCOTUS:

Conservative: Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas

Leftist: Stevens, Breyer, Ginsburg, Sotomayor

Swing vote: Kennedy

I keep expecting Ogabe to offer Kennedy some goodie to get him to retire - some kind of make-work "international law" position at the UN or something. And the Chicago boys are probably going over Kennedy's background with a fine-tooth comb, looking for something to pass along to their operatives in the sockpuppet media.

Exactly. People need to picket Nicks games with "End the racial imbalance in the Nicks team! More whites!" placards. See how that gets received.
