Oh, boy. So, what should success be based on? Skin color? Somebody's idea of who or what should be successful?
The lefts scorecard for success is nothing but a misery index.
I believe it was Scalia who once said something like “Sometimes the little guy isn’t supposed to win”
Her mind is so twisted by the liberal disease that she takes affirmative action as axiomatic, thus success is meritorious if it is gifted for no merit just affirmative action, as in affirmation of liberalism’s disease state. Affirmative action is ‘affirmation of liberal rot’ to/in the minds of once normal babies, put into action to ‘transform the society’. Or, as little barry bastard Soetoro put it ‘Transforming Americ ah’.
“Oh, boy. So, what should success be based on?”
Supporting the “correct” agenda.
“...driven by the American concept that success should always be based on merit. The problem with that concept, I think, as most people know, is that success is not always about merit.”
We can tell that is true as that is how she got her job on the SC. It’s about who’s arse she kissed!!! That’s not merit!!
I think she was talking about affirmative action, and in that case she might have meant “legacy acceptances” or other reasons that have to do with pull of some kind, which do not depend on merit..
I guess I missed the part of the constitution that talked about the right to be successful.
What she means is that some uber enlightened human is supposed to impose cosmic justice when people are unmeritoriously successful.
success is not always about merit =
sometimes it is political cronyism.
