[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2510602, member: 12952"] [URL="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/obama-claims-immunity-from-lawsuit-under-the-king-can-do-no-wrong-legal-maxim/article/2608439"]Obama claims immunity from lawsuit under 'the king can do no wrong' legal maxim[/URL] Beginning in 1991, the FAA collaborated with universities and colleges to create 36 accredited degree programs in diverse Collegiate Training Initiative schools. Then, the FAA hired those with CTI program degrees, references from CTI administrators and "well qualified" rankings on the challenging Air Traffic Selection and Training exam — a validated, proctored, eight-hour, computer-based test. In 2013, however, to achieve racial diversity — notwithstanding that nearly 12 percent of those attending CTI programs were African Americans — the FAA abandoned that program, "purged" its files of the 2,000 to 3,500 CTI graduates, and began hiring any English-speaking citizen with a high school diploma, while screening new applicants to ensure their racial "diversity." The lawsuit charges violation of the equal protection component of the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In response to a class action lawsuit by as many as 3,500 ready-to-hire air traffic controller applicants whose names were "purged" so the Federal Aviation Administration could hire based on race, federal lawyers asserted that the administration is immune from liability for denying constitutional equal protection because of sovereign immunity. In other words, they claim protection by the legal maxim [I]rex non potest peccare[/I], which means, "the king can do no wrong." [/QUOTE]
