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.
