The New Haven decision is in. I guess you never want to say a predictable decision, but it probably was:
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race. The ruling reverses a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals-court judge. From news accounts, it does appear the decision was made based on the Civil Rights Act.
