The Rehnquist court has been good in defining what are reasonable imperfections and what are not.

I assume you are referring to the decision under question in this thread. This conservative rhenquist court did a great job. Thank GHWB for some decent Conservative appointments.

This is orthogonal to the decision rendered but just so I have this right: A prosecuter would utilize racial discrimination to block jurors because black jurors are less likely to convict black defendents and more likely to convict white defendends while white jurors are more likely to convict black defendents and white jurors are less likely to convict white defendents. Is there any evidence that:

a) this is why prosecuters would practice racial discrimination in selecting jurors.

b) that this notion is based in fact.

Why would a prosecuter practice racial discrimination in selecting jury members?

Because prosecutors are political animals, often with higher ambition and will try to do everything to get a win.
