From the article:
A Federal judge appointed by Reagan: ‘“I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this,” said U.S. District Judge William Young of Massachusetts. “You are bearing down on people of color because of their color. The Constitution will not permit that…Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?”’
