The US Supreme Court on Friday declined to block West Point’s race-based admissions program that discriminates against whites while a lawsuit against the military academy makes its way through the lower courts.
Recall that last year the Supreme Court crushed the racist ‘Affirmative Action’ policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.
The High Court ruled 6-2 in the Harvard case with liberal justice Ketanji Brown Jackson opting out.
The Supreme Court justices ruled 6-3 in the University of North Carolina case brought by Students for Fair Admission (SFFA).
The conservative justices said the race-based affirmative action policies violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
The group SFFA filed an emergency application request with the US Supreme Court for an injunction pausing West Point’s race-based admissions practices.
“Should these young Americans bear the burden of West Point’s unchecked racial discrimination? Or should West Point bear the burden of temporarily complying with the Constitution’s command of racial equality?” SFFA lawyers wrote in a petition to the Supreme Court, according to Fox News.

A superior military leadership program demands the best of the best.
Academic training diversity, based on demographics alone, is an unattainable goal and a fool’s errand. Nothing beats merit, no matter where it is found. But to select randomly, in the hope or wish that the selected candidate will somehow rise to the occasion because the demands are thrust upon him or her, is betting on massive failure.
On the job is no place to winnow out the highly incompetent in a military organization, or even the marginal applicant. The best of the best is an absolute essential in a high-pressure position. And few things are more high-pressure than armed combat.
Don’t you need to have an appointment by someone in government (Representative, Senator, POTUS, VPOTUS, foreign president) to get into a military academy?
How did race enter into the admissions process?
What kind of court is this? The decay of our legal system continues apace.
I would put Trumps first pick as a moderate conservative. The other two are liberals. With ACB being pretty much as bad as the Obama judges.
Racism is legal and possibly mandatory if it discriminates against whites and sometimes Asians.
No, Gorsuch is actually the most to the left. He served alongside Anthony Kennedy for about a year, and he was significantly to the left of even Kennedy. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were both clerks for Kennedy. ACB - it’s too early to tell, but she actually clerked for Scalia. She probably won’t be a Scalia, but at least a little to the right of the other two.
In the NWO where up is down and down is up.
Gorsuch and Kavanaugh aren’t “as bad as Obama judges” as you put it. but they will be a little worse than their mentor Kennedy.
Dred Scott in reverse
The SCOTUS is going to wait until after the 2024 swindle is completed and the 10-judge expansion of the SCOTUS is implemented by the American Communist Party (ACP)...
Chief Justice Obama will make sure the issue is settled permanently...
Black women with swords...hmmm.
while a lawsuit against the military academy makes its way through the lower courts.
—
Try again after the the lawsuit is decided. SCOTUS seldom takes cases active in lower courts.
the court has consistently shot down AA
people need to sue for damages
to make it too expensive to continue
Not a chance they are worse than Kennedy. Where did this idea that the Trump judges are disappointing come from?
Kennedy voted to reaffirm Roe, ruled to uphold affirmative action in Fisher II, was the author of several cases that restricted the death penalty, and the list goes on. On those major issues alone, the Trump judges have already shown themselves to be much better than Kennedy.
So you prefer Kennedy to Scalia?
Gorsuch served with Kennedy for a year, and he was significantly to the left of Kennedy.
Like with Illinois’ anti-2A law, they’re waiting for it to finish its wind in the lower courts before taking it up.
Their docket is already crammed to the gills with cases, and a lower court just might handle it properly. It’s not as if they declined to hear the case EVER.
Why would any young White person be willing to go to West Point these days anyway? Seriously.
