Judge Rules That Police Can Bar High I.Q. Scores 260
An anonymous reader writes "A Federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by a man who was barred from the New London police force because he scored too high on an intelligence test. Judge Dorsey ruled that Mr. Jordan was not denied equal protection because the city of New London applied the same standard to everyone: anyone who scored too high was rejected."

Awww now I miss the the stupid things the government did before 9/11 turned them into wholesale Constitution tramplers.
You're new here, I see - or at least newer than me. Let me clue you in on something; slashdot is a pro-conservative site.
If you want to be up-modded, just praise Bush, Reagan, and all the greatness that came immediately after 9/11, when the government was working in your best interest. Further, calling the current POTUS the great socialist satan will accomplish similar results. You are daring to suggest that what happened immediately after 9/11 might not have been done with everyone's best interests in mind - prepare to be moderated "troll".
