Supreme Court delivers crushing 9-0 blow to Racists everywhere

Odd take on this.

Yes, white people have always been protected by anti-discrimination laws, despite the usual suspects bringing such charges.

But this ruling actually makes it easier to sue for discrimination, which is NOT what any employer wants.
 
Instead of being a drunken tool, tell us why this is a bad decision by the court
Is it possible or even likely an employer gets sued now on the basis of this ruling even if there is no discrimination at play?

In a similar vein do you remember Jane Meyer? Was she discriminated against because she was a lesbian or was she in fact terrible at her job and disliked by everyone in the athletic department because of the bad decisions she made?
 
The biggest problem with the post/tweets are that they’re basically wrong. This is solely a case about how much harm is necessary in a title vii case and doesn’t make it easier or harder to actually show discrimination itself, of whatever kind. Plaintiffs were always going to have to show some harm for standing purposes, and they always will in an employment transfer such as here.

@hydro2.0 has no idea what you're asking. The guy has always hovered around "mouth breather". Save your keystrokes.

Yeah I’m not sure what people are all excited about here. Just seems like it’s clarifying prior rules.

Kagans footnote is spot on. You can quibble about whether the 8th circuit did or didn’t impose a higher standard, but if it did, fine, it shouldn’t have. And kavs concurrence underscores how harm is almost inherent in most job transfers.
