For those interested, I weigh in this weekend on the discussion we’ve been having here and at Bench Memos over Ramesh’s New York Times op-ed earlier this week. As I said a couple of days ago, I think this is a really welcome debate to have — and very timely with a decision due Monday morning in Ricci, (the affirmative-action case involving the New Haven firefighters and Judge Sotomayor). I’m glad Ramesh prompted it.
