"Racisalism" Is Bad. If It Might Affect White People.
By Adam has the inevitably hacktacular Stuart Taylor dead to rights here:
Moreover, Taylor, who believes the greatest injustice in Western history was Sotomayor’s failure to ignore established precedent in the Ricci case and act as an empathetic, activist judge on behalf of a plaintiff he finds sympathetic, has been a fervent supporter of racial profiling. Sotomayor’s statement about life experience affecting the way judges rule is a plainly innocuous statement, and contains none of the malice Taylor attributes to it. But I’d be interested to understand how Taylor explain how the law should be color-blind in situations when he feels whites might be disadvantaged, but not when it comes to assuming people are criminals or terrorists based on the color of their skin. That sounds pretty “racialist” to me.
It’s going to be equally amusing seeing this Bush v. Gore apologist criticize Sotomayor for “judicial activism” and alleged defects in legal craftsmanship…
