Will the supreme court ban affirmative action?. The constitution clearly bans it, which means nothing nowadays.

How Diversity Destroyed Affirmative Action

dec 16 2015 The Bakke ruling shifted the rationale for affirmative action from reparation for past discrimination to promoting diversity. Today, the fate of affirmative action rests solely on the Court’s endorsing diversity as a compelling societal interest. The oral arguments in Fisher this week demonstrate the fragility of this situation. Chief Justice Roberts questioned the educational benefits of racial diversity, asking, “What unique perspective does a minority student bring to a physics class?… I’m just wondering what the benefits of diversity are in that situation?”
 
More liberal silliness but I'm sure they can defend it with some emotionally ridden psychobabble.
 
The real reason for AA is that blacks and women don't have the ability of white/asian males.
 
Like most on the right, the Chief Justice clearly don't understand.

What doesn't he understand. ? Tell us about this giant conspiracy white males are engaged in to hold down blacks and women. HAHAHA. The loony left and its wackdoodle conspiracy theories.

In a court, only legal arguments should be allowed. "Doing what's best for america" is an argument a congressman can use when passing a law, but judges are not supposed to do things that way.

the constitution doesn't "clearly ban it" since the court found it constitutional in certain circumstances and if done certain ways. so by definition it is not "clearly unconstitutional" and your dislike for it doesn't make it unconstitutional.

Roberts, as smart as he is, is one judge and questions asked during argument do not always indicate where the decision is going.

what I can say is that the issue is not "what unique perspective does a minority student bring to a class". the issue is "do we require action of some type to remedy the sequellae of institutional discrimination"?
 
Well the biggest users of AA are Asians and White women. There you go showing off how fucking dumb you are. You get a gold star

Asians? HAHAHA. You're the dummy you brainless jackass.

White women do benefit from AA and that needs to end also.

Oh look----Jilly is telling the Supreme Court what the real issue is.

Yes AA is clearly unconstitutional. "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within itsjurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

But judges do whatever they wish . Been like that for 60 years.
 
...or math

...or engineering...

That can be said of all STEM courses and STEM is the only thing we should teach in college. Sure, blacks have a different perspective in an African Studies course but useless nonsense like that has no place in a public college.
 
Writers should go to college and diversity could aid them. Might make a difference in menu items for the dorm too.

and making amends for past history doesn't "take" anything since you have no entitlement to admission to any institution.

again, those words are meaningless without the caselaw construing it. that's the problem with people who don't understand it trying to make blanket statements about it.

it is not "clearly unconstitutional and justices who know far more than people who sit around on social media disagree. you certainly aren't in a position to think you have the answers.
 
Maybe not unconstitutional, but trying to redistribute intelligence is clearly insane.
