Gerald Walpin: Race and the Law at the Supreme Court - WSJ.com

Gerald Walpin: Race and the Law at the Supreme Court - WSJ.com: "As whites are all not conservative or liberal, carnivore or vegetarian, etc., blacks are equally diverse: compare the political views of Al Sharpton and Herman Cain, or the approach to the law of Attorney General Eric Holder and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The Supreme Court previously held in J.E.B. v. Alabama (1994) that any assertion that the presence of African-Americans would allow diversity in ideas is a classification "that rest[s] on impermissible stereotypes [that] violate the Equal Protection Clause.""
