It allows the federal government to micro-manage the racial composition of any city or neighborhood. "Low-income" tax credits must now be awarded for "middle-class" neighborhoods.
And it won't stop there. Any set of circumstances where minorities are perceived to be "disadvantaged" whether there is actual discrimination or not, there will now be lawsuits to have the proper quota system implemented according to the whim of some bureaucrat.
These headlines are false.
This is not about discrimination, this is about not using affirmative action.
Feds won’t be happy until there are ghetto rats in every neighborhood.
If elected to office I would never, repeat never appoint anyone with the last name Kennedy to any position.
Except where THEY live.
It’s all bad news today. Calling Kennedy a conservative is a joke. This is also a bad decision and continues the muddied waters.
Whatever they have on Kennedy and Roberts they sure use it a lot.
After my first experience with renting and learning about it I bulldozed the house. It was a nice little house. Clean and neat. It once had new paint, carpet, HVAC, ceiling fans, appliances. I did not intend to own and rent something I would not live in myself.
I took all the good stuff out, took off the new steel roof, burned it to the ground, dug a hole and shoved it in, went to the tax office an got it taken off the property tax.
No more rental property for me. I will do what I can to not have terms dictated to me.
I wonder if any scotus types are in the hacked background database files. The hacking of which recently came to be known, though they were hacked starting over 2 years ago.
You are right, the implication of this decision would be worse and far more reaching.
In my earlier post re: King v. Burwell, I asked “What is wrong with Kennedy?”, I ask again here.
keep neighborhoods safe, and sane, and peaceful, with like minded people....
SCOTUS.
It’s worse than that. It now allows prosecuting (read witch hunting) based on statistical analysis and modeling, computer modeling of expected outcomes. If the model says you’re racist, then you are. Reality be damned. If that doesn’t remind you of another government boondoggle, then...
“Justice Anthony Kennedy, a conservative...”
I stopped reading right there.
Those whose mission is to seek out evidence of discrimination will invariably find it everywhere.
Using statistical sampling to "prove" unintended discrimination from neutral practices may actually be simply identifying the people exercising their first amendment right to peaceably assemble (freedom of association, and its corrolary freedom to not associate).

Where is the quota system for the Supreme Court? The recent controversial SCOTUS decisions clearly illustrates why ALL Americans need to have their beliefs represented.
The many millions of Americans of WASP culture are not even being represented in these decisions, while our Constitution is being turned topsy turvy at the behest of mostly minorities of other cultures that are over represented.
The intolerant Harvard libs in charge would reflexively claim that any such a question from a WASP clearly illustrates hate and racism. The real racism is clearly incoming to us.
