Further, she does have credibility issues as far as impartiality and racial/ethnic policies go, as illustrated by the “Ricci v. New Haven” decision. Hence my question on the impact of the Ricci testimony.[/quote]
It may be a fair line of questioning. If it came from anyone other than Sessions. (A man who “had no problem with the KKK” until he found out they smoked dope.)
On her numerous allusions to her heritage, both Roberts and Alito said very similar things during their hearings. Alito said:
When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender. And I do take that into account.
Neither were criticized for it, nor if I recall correctly, even questioned about it.
See above for my response re: Ricci. She made the only correct decision she could. In overturning her court’s decision, the Roberts court reset the law.
