#4 "Imagine if we did this in the United States."

The lawsuits would be so thick on the ground that you could touch the courthouse roof. And even if a way was somehow found past that, the next argument would be that since so many GSs are minorities, any failures would fall disproportionally on them. But just because they can't pass the test doesn't mean they should lose their jobs.
