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!”
That is their prerogative. They can choose who they want. If the ONLY reason one applicant is chosen over another with the same exact qualifications is RACE, then it is illegal and the college can be sued....lots of litigation would make them more careful.
Plus if the college starts admitting many poor performers, who would think of the college being a very select group of smarties anymore?
The majority decision was by agreement of justices appointed by HGWBush, GWBush and Trump. Doubtful it would have been a majority in our favor without all of them.
The real applause goes to all of us who have fought for better SCOTUS appointments by GOP presidents for decades. These are our victories.
Yes
Full points on the title alone, no further content needed, obviously.
Yeah, aren’t those rulings 180 degrees from this?
Confusing.
A one-line essay: “I be victim white CISGender oppression.”
If Hillary had been elected instead of Trump we’d be living in hell about now...
