What is the Supreme Court’s real job? (Says who?)

Holder attacks Roberts by name, supports Sotomayor

Attacking racial inequalities, apparently, always presumed to stem from malicious, unfounded, and unjust discrimination, and also attacking that discrimination itself, is job one.

Or anyway it's toward the top of the list, well above adhering to the constitution, though neither Holder nor other leading officials, especially in law enforcement, are going quite yet to put it quite that way.

How long will it be before left wing law enforcement officials, attorneys general, or even judges begin to come clean and urge frank constitutional disobedience, following Louis Michael Seidman, I wonder?

Anyway, Roberts evidently doesn’t share Holder's view.

So Roberts, by name, is the enemy.

DeWayne Wickham couldn’t agree more.

Gary Younge on institutional racism

And how often have you heard of the racism of "disparate racial impact"?

Paranoid supposition of hidden, malicious intent?

Or persuasive definition (vide Charles Stevenson)?

Intentionally unresolved ambiguity, I think, giving greater apparent legitimacy to complaint and blame.

And so, political mendacity.
