NICE!
“The admission opens the door for contractors to legally contest lucrative federal procurement, services and construction contracts granted to minority contractors under preference programs across the nation, including many contracts already in existence.
“That means those programs are also unconstitutional,” Barton said.....
Thousands of minority-owned companies across the nation seek 8(a) certification from the SBA, which allows them to win procurement contracts from all federal agencies on a preferential basis, often without facing competitive bids.”
Notwithstanding that neo national socalist Ba’racks pledge to reconsider such no-bid contracts; When one considers the political bent of Ba’racks AG Holder the suspicion is Holder will vigorously defend such graft.
Back in the 80’s when I sold electrical supplies one of my customers was a VA hospital. The purchasing agent told me she was required to spend a certain percentage each month on minority contracts. She had found a black owned place in Austin, Texas that only sold light bulbs. And that’s where she shopped for all the light bulbs at the hospital. We called them “lamps” in the business.
What was it we heard ad nauseum from MSM about no bid contracts for the Iraq Battle?
Seems these gimme programs are just fine for a certain subset of citizens, but not for others. No surprise here.
Sounds like good news to me. This puts a hitch in the get-along to programs that allow prejudicial bid selection against non-minority owned businesses.
