The Claremont Institute's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence has just filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court to uphold merit-based hiring and promotion policies in government jobs. The case, Ricci vs. Destefano, involved intentional race discrimination against seventeen white and one Hispanic, firefighters who were denied promotions when the City of New Haven, CT, refused to certify a promotional exam. The city declared the test results invalid because there were no black firefighters in the final promotion-eligible group. The brief was written by John Eastman, Director of the Center of Constitutional Jurisprudence, John Yoo, Karen Lugo, and joined by former Attorney General Ed Meese. A text of the press release is HERE, and the full text of the amicus brief is HERE.
