Today the Hispanic Leadership Fund
issued the following statement by its President, Mario H. Lopez,
regarding the Supreme Court’s decision in Ricci v. DeStefano:
The Ricci case is a prime example of
how working families are negatively impacted when judges reply on their
personal preferences instead of strictly following the law. Hispanics,
like all Americans, understand that replacing equality of opportunity
with equality of results is not a recipe for justice. Today, the hard
working Hispanic and white firefighters who passed their exam finally
received true empathy—that which comes from being on the right side of
the law.
