Lewis v. Chicago

Damned if you do, Ricci‘d if you don’t—or if you try and correct the past mistake, that is.

I’m sure none of the demagoguery about Ricci thought that this consequence could have been predicted. It was obvious.

Most likely, the idea is to continue to problematize Title VII until it seems entirely unworkable. Other than that, I don’t see the strategy behind the demagoguing the these two cases. I don’t think many of the fever pitched voices about Ricci ever really cared about employers or employment.

Irony?

Paging Alanis. Is this ironic?

Frank Ricci got his job by suing under the ADA for discrimination against his dyslexia.

“In a confidential settlement, struck two years later, Mr. Ricci withdrew his lawsuit in exchange for a job with the fire department and $11,143 in attorney’s fees.”
