Without getting into details of the case, the Third Circuit sided with the City of New Haven, which believed it was complying with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In other words, they decided the case based on the law and not on "empathy" with the plaintiff. You would think conservatives would admire that, wouldn't you?
Not so fast. The right seems to believe that "empathy" is a legitimate yardstick when the court empathizes with conservative causes. Doug Kendall and Dahlia Lithwick nail it on Slate.
