      I also am curious as to what was on the test that could even bring about the POSSIBILITY of it being racially biased.
      It required an essay. Apparently Soto doesn't think black people know how/need to know how to write intelligently.

        New Haven, trying to fill senior fire department vacancies, gave a test to 77 candidates for lieutenant and 41 candidates for captain. Fifty-six firefighters passed the exams, including 41 whites, nine blacks and six Hispanics. But of those, only 17 whites and two Hispanics could expect promotion.

          a somewhat scientific, albeit slightly biased, analysis:

          Differential Item Function (DIF) is the main method for getting bias out of tests. The basic approach is as follows: For every score level ...

            Has anyone read the opinions yet? The tenor of the majority and dissenting opinions wrt the work of the appeals court in this case could damn the nomination depending on how they are written.

              From what I've read the majority opinion seems to go out of its way to be nice to the 2nd Circuit CoA, while the Alito concurrance rips it apart (FTR, Roberts didn't join Alito's concurrance).

                3/9, 2/6, 15/41.

                Assuming 20 promotions open, this is what you get, assuming each group scored the same. The difference is that 2 white people are promoted over 3 black people. That's it.

                Now we don't know if they all scored the same.

                  White people sure have had it ROUGH in history of United States.
                  A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                          It makes Mr. Fun feel better about himself, and it papers over his true feelings about black people.

                              Kennedy's decision points out that there hasn't been much precedent on the issue and talks about the Court clarifying how Title VII applies. He also talks about statutes and principles of a law conflict and how the court is providing guidance in how to deal with such complications. Almost as if saying the SCOTUS was too vague about this in the past, so the 2nd Circuit shouldn't be blamed for reading it the other way.

                                It's pretty clear that white people enjoy starting fires, not stopping them.
