Powell Defends Sotomayor Ruling Against White Firefighters

So, to recap: Powell is a Republican who generally only breaks with the Republican Party when it involves taking the side of unqualified African Americans over more qualified whites.

Yet, according to MEM, there is no evidence that these breaks with the party are based on race.

MEM is about one step away from being one of those guys who says we have to pretend that OJ and Michael Jackson are innocent just because a jury didn't find them guilty.
