Breaking: SCOTUS ends Affirmative Action in university race-based admissions

[Hector12]

How do they benefit from legacies ? And shouldn’t it be their choose instead of the government?

Admitting the unbrilliant children of rich families often encourages the families to contribute money to the universities.

I doubt many of the Conservative justices are overly worried about being reelected.

Not my point was it? Folks understand that voting Republican leads to this.

And look how happy you right wing Republicans are over this.

And you see that as a valuable thing for society?

Jesus fuck...

I just read the decision - or the first twenty or so pages.

tl;dr - I've changed my view on this 180º.

Pretty much every time the Roberts Court does something that, nominally, seems like a good idea - there's a devil in the details. Even when Roberts makes what sounds like a good decision, it's for bad reasons, setting or affirming bad precedent. In this case, Roberts does it again: The claim of the decision is that Harvard violated the 14th Amendment by discriminating.

WTF? Harvard is a privately owned institution. It literally can't violate the Constitution. Their admissions policies should be exactly none of the government's business.

Roberts is a fucking sellout and/or an idiot. This is why Republicans are useless. They don't reject social engineering, that just "social engineer" in the other direction.

Robert should have struck down the law that pushed Harvard into implementing these kinds of policies in the first place, the law that actually does violate the 14th Amendment.

Did I mention that Roberts is a fucking idiot?

This is what affirmative action gets you

Yep, whenever racism is defeated we get pretty happy.

You tell that to black folks you want to vote Republican

The title of this thread is misleading. Affirmative action is alive and well. The decision doesn't strike down AA. Roberts is too much of a chickenshit to do that. Instead, It claims that Harvard violated the 14th Amendment (???). In fact, the decision affirms the core conceit of affirmative action: that government should have any say in a private institution's policies in the first place.

His way of saying a black woman can be just as capable of serving on the bench as anyone else.
And he was right wasn't he?

1) It was his way of saying he would discriminate against whites and men.

2) Her dissent shows she is NOT as capable. She voted for racial discrimination against Asians and whites, even though it is a violation of the Equal Protection.

AA is detrimental TO blacks, moron.

Well of course blacks want laws and policies that benefit them. That doesn't make the law or policy fair or right however.

Harvard takes federal funds.

We are happy when racist practices are struck down.

Make no mistake about it.

Sotomayor, who wrote the disturbing dissent in STUDENTS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS, INC. v. PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE, was a clarion call for discrimination, particularly against people of Asian descent but others as well.

And Kagan, and the newest member who can't define what a woman is, joined this bigoted and racist dissent.

But in reality, this dissent is merely a continuation of the Democratic Party' s history since the 1830s. And that history is divide by race. It is the same Democratic Party Playbook that Sotomayor used in her horrible and racist dissent.

The opinion of the Court.

 

[1srelluc]

Jackson is the newest member.

Then again she does not know what a woman is so.....

 

[Nostra]

Getting rid of legacy admissions would. But that’s not happening

So you don’t think any minorities have been to college?

Sounds racist.

No surprises here. Sotomayor is the BIGGEST RACIST on the court and she is followed closely by the moron that cannot define what sex she is. I think Kagan is just a diversity hire as well.

Yep. Voting Republican ends discrimination.

Ended slavery.
Endied Jim Crow.
Gave us the Civil Righs Act


And now this.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

By the way, keep in mind nine states had already banned race-based admissions.
California, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.
This movement was likely going to eventually end it in all states eventually anyway.
