New York Times Editorial : A contemptible dissent in the Ninth Circuit decision, by Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, summed up a pernicious stereotype. He called day laborers “a bunch of scraggly men smoking and spitting while waiting for jobs,” and wrote that he saw no reason why Redondo Beach should not be allowed to drive them away in the name of “safety, beauty, tranquility and orderliness.”

.

The New York Times continues with its Liberal View  :

"No reason except the Constitution, of course. Day laborers have long been subject to harassment, but they now have an appellate court victory to add to a long string of federal court decisions in their favor. The right of free speech and assembly is essential to a democracy, no matter who is speaking or assembling".
