July 12, 2009"Joe the Fireman"Jonathan Adler says Welcome to Washington, Mr. Ricci: Senate Republicans opted to call New Haven firefighters Frank Ricci and Ben Vargas to testify at Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearings in order to score political points against Judge Sotomayor over the issue of affirmative action. Now Judge Sotomayor's advocates are seeking to take Frank Ricci down a notch so as to blunt any effect of his testimony. How's that "new style of politics" working out for you? Thugs.
