As has been noted before, wackiness in the court room is not restricted to the US.  Indeed, the first "right to non-life" suit was filed in Australia.  Now comes more good news from Australia.  An Affirmative action case filed for "Over Promotion"!  That is right!  The first black body guard for one of the Royals (Camilla Parker-Bowles), Sgt Leslie Turner sued and won for being promoted too fast, not receiving enough training, making mistakes, and then being reassigned!

I think it is very Ironic, and I am glad he won!  While I think he should have been given the opportunity to succeed at his chosen profession, it appears that some pencil necks were only interested in making his occupation, more rainbow oriented, without regard to qualifications.  Had they done it right, it might have taken Turner a few more years to achieve the pinnacle of his profession, but as he correctly pointed out in his lawsuit, he would have been better prepared and trained for it when he did achieve it.

My Only question now, is Ruth Ginsberg going to use the Precedent when a minority student sues Harvard for accepting him/her, even though they were not as qualified as other students, and thus flunked out?  While no law suits have been brought yet, cases of students ill prepared for the rigors of some of the Ivy League schools flunking out have already been documented.
