” Clinton Appointed Judges change law voted in by a majority of voters. “

Wasn’t there a Supreme Court ruling a couple of years ago to the effect that Michigan could eliminate race-based admissions and hiring??

(Or, my leaky old memory might be playing tricks again...)

Actually the SCOTUS ruling allowed the University of Michigan to consider race in admittance
http://www.ur.umich.edu/0203/June16_03/01_decision.shtml
“In a major victory for U-M announced June 23, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the right of universities to consider race in admissions procedures in order to achieve a diverse student body.
President Mary Sue Coleman called the Supreme Court affirmative action decisions a “tremendous victory for the University of Michigan, for all of higher education, and for the hundreds of groups and individuals who supported us.”

In two lawsuits challenging U-M admissions policies, the court ruled 5-4 in favor of the Law School and, by a vote of 6-3, reversed in part the University’s undergraduate policy while still allowing for the consideration of race in admissions. “

This affected, NEGATIVELY, many other schools and contributed to more dumbing down of America
