There are persons that would like to believe that there shouldn't be any reasons for any additional considerations for employment such as quotas, even though they still see the acute disparity between Blacks and their White counterparts in unemployment, income, almost all health concerns, proverty, etc. Also in many cases, Blacks are locked out of jobs because of our credit, which is a silent form of discrimmination. Here in California, we have English as a second language in our public schools, giving our Latin brothers an additional consideration, while creating another reason not to hire Blacks. Even state jobs are increasingly spanish speaking only, as well as the private sector; another shut -out for Blacks. Plagued by inner-city woes of proverty, fatherless latch-key ungoverned, unparented children,since according to statistics, we are more often unable to afford childcare, another generation will be needing a leg up. So we are forever falling behind, failing in front. We are not given preference in a lop-sided society. I don't know what the answer is. Quotas, though not ideal, at least leveled off those drowning in the deep end.

These judges are fallible human beings – it is unrealistic to think they wouldn't be reversed on some of their decisions. The reversal is pretty much "business as usual" for any judge and not just Sotomayer.
