President Trump on Thursday reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision to crush the racist ‘Affirmative Action’ policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-2 in the Harvard case with liberal justice Ketanji Brown Jackson opting out.
The high court ruled 6-3 in the University of North Carolina case.
The conservative justices said the race-based affirmative action policies violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, CNBC reported.
“We have never permitted admissions programs to work in that way, and we will not do so today,” Chief Justice Roberts wrote.
“Two discriminatory wrongs can not make a right,” conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wrote.
All three of President Trump’s Supreme Court picks – Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barret voted to strike down the racist policies.
Trump cheered the Supreme Court’s decision – “This is a great day for America.”
“This is a great day for America. People with extraordinary ability and everything else necessary for success, including future greatness for our Country, are finally being rewarded. This is the ruling everyone was waiting and hoping for and the result was amazing. It will also keep us competitive with the rest of the world. Our greatest minds must be cherished and that’s what this wonderful day has brought. We’re going back to all merit-based—and that’s the way it should be!”
The colleges have already said they would use writings by applicants as an excuse to assure they get in...and displace non-blacks.
Trump crows and crow he should.
Yes. They may likely want applicants to include an essay describing their life struggles, etc. Code for listing your ethnicity.
It is, AA is a cancer.
Did he cheer when they said state courts can override state government on drawing voting districts? Some of the picks have not been reliably constitutional.
In fact their Lousiana ruling flies in the face of this one. They have to create another predominantly black district. The same ones who made this also said schools can’t use race for admissions. At least the Dems justices were consistently wrong.
Their fallback plan is to abolish test scores, rely entirely on essays, maybe pick the top students from high schools in “economically disadvantaged” zip codes, and make the process as opaque as possible and dare anyone to sue them.
Yes, but the groundwork has been laid…
I hope lawsuits will follow every time they come up with a new scheme to discriminate.
It’s an important start, but the war rages on.
Suing and discovery will turn opaque into severe clear, and they will lose lawsuits as the SCOTUS decision will be the backbone of the suit.
There was a time honest people would take a dim view of intentionally violating the spirit of the law.
After California passed Prop 209 in 1996:
“Proposition 209 added Section 31 to the California Constitution’s Declaration of Rights, which said that the state cannot discriminate against or grant preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, and public contracting.”
Universities in California then turned to a “holistic” approach for admissions to get around Prop 209 - using essays to determine race, now they’ve eliminated the SAT/ACT as a qualifier for admissions.
Universities across the country will copy what California has done.

If a proxy continues to favor races, it, too, will be destroyed by this ruling, but it will take time.
It will also keep us competitive with the rest of the world.
Great day indeed no more tokens infiltrating the system now is a good time to purge them and make room for those who earned their way.
LOL!
I hope you are right. California universities still use a “holistic” admission policy and has since the Prop 209 ruling in 1996.
“...it, too, will be destroyed by this ruling, but it will take time.”
Expect LOTS and LOTS of lawsuits to be filed under this new ruling. Many will be appealed and a few will make their way to SCOTUS over the next twenty to thirty years.
I don’t expect race relations to ever be normal in the USA. EVER. I bet if I could come back in 500 years, I’d still see the same old tired issues being debated and the Civil War still being refought in the courts.
I’m presuming you mean affirmative action. There are other meanings
Some maybe. Not all
yep
