Krauthammer on Ricci v. DeStefano.

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Ricci raised the bar considerably on overt discrimination against one racial group simply to undo the unintentionally racially skewed results of otherwise fair and objective employment procedures (in this case, examinations).

Krauthammer is writing in an aspirational mode... and defining "considerably" downward.
