I hope Mr. Ricci gets some sort of justice, but his misfortune should not be used as an excuse to abandon efforts to help level the playing field. IMHO.
Typical liberal response. To hell with standards, just as long as pollitical correctness rules.

Hopefully the "affirmatively" selected officials will be capable of doing their jobs effectively and there will be no negative consequences from their substandard attributes.
