9th Circuit Upholds School Segregation in Hawaii
Fox News | 1/20/07

Posted on 01/21/2007 8:57:34 AM PST by pabianice

Breaking on Fox News... a panel of 15 judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled 8-7 that Hawaii's Kamehameha School may give students with Hawaiian ancestry preference for admission. This overturns a three judge panel of the court first ruling that this is unconstitutional. Hawaiian legislators were shown arguing that "Hawaii is unique" and requires this sort of reverse racism "to right past wrongs." Fox indicates that this is almost certain to be appealed to SCOTUS.

They don't call it the "Ninth Circus" for nothing.

Ya think? Yet another ruling by the 9th Circus that will be overturned by SCOTUS.

reverse racism "to right past wrongs."

First of all, it's refreshing to hear someone describe "affirmative action" for what it really is: racism.

But beyond that, the redress of past grievances has never been an acceptable defense for the violation of present law. Either discrimination is illegal or it isn't. The ends do NOT justify the means.

The 9th soon to be overturned for the thousandth time. Their overturned ruling average is laughable compared to GW's poll numbers with idiot americans. Yet the liberals applaud the 9th and hate GW. Makes sense to me! Someone remind me whom is out of touch with America, liberals (the 9th included) or GW?

The general rule is, whatever the liberals want, that's the way the 9th Circus will rule. They are a shameless pack of cowards.

It's not the content of their character but the content of their genes. Ok, that's cool.

Proves that some people are more "equal" than others.

Righting wrongs are something the people should do not some government edict.

So now illegal and CRIMINAL aliens can demand tax payers fund seperate gutter spanish language schools (as opposed to proper spanish) in order to "correct" past discrimination.
