Louisiana Opinion. Omaha or ayone else read?
I just skimmed. Anyone else?
1. Does anyone else find the reference to the average NBA player distasteful?
2. He goes the great length to outline a portion of the Act but seemingly ignores the part tha says outcomes may be considered but not determinative.
3. Why didn't he just come out and say, "I am sick of 'them' playing the 'race card' like so many other racists.
4. He says we have come a long way in race relations because of things like the Act but then guts it?
5. He say that when there are two motivating reasons like race and political (which they have ruled is okay), it is easy for a litigant to hide behind one when the there is another. E.g., say it was race when really political. He seems to go to great length to argue this. Isn't vice versa true?
He is a fuck. Caveat; I read the damn 100 page opinion in 20 minutes. So I could be wrong on one or all of my points. But my overall feeling is that he is a fuck.
