President Obama Dealt a Blow
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a blow to President Barack Obama's high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor on Monday, overturning a ruling by her that it said would illegally deny promotions to white firefighters based on race.
The 5-4 ruling held that the city of New Haven, Connecticut, violated federal civil rights law when it threw out the results of a promotion exam after it yielded too many qualified white applicants and no acceptable black candidates.
Connecticut comes out with new test that is fair to all. See test questions below to be promoted to Captain. Must get all three questions right to pass
1. What color is the plain paper that you are taking the test on?
2. How many flat sides are there on the test paper?
3. Is the 81/2 x 11 inch paper that your test is on Square or rectangle?
