Kagen recused.
Just looked at the NY SLIMES article on the decision....it spent MOST of the space allotted quoting the LOWER COURT OPINIONS and judicial makeup....NOT the Supremes’ decision.
6-2 is “divided?? Huh.
“This case is not about the constitutionality, or the merits, of race-conscious admissions policies in higher education. Here, the principle that the consideration of race in admissions is permissible when certain conditions are met is not being challenged. Rather, the question concerns whether, and in what manner, voters in the States may choose to prohibit the consideration of such racial preferences...
...Unlike the injuries in Mulkey, Hunter, and Seattle, the question here is not how to address or prevent injury caused on account of race but whether voters may determine whether a policy of race-based preferences should be continued. By approving Proposal 2 and there-by adding §26 to their State Constitution, Michigan voters exercised their privilege to enact laws as a basic exercise of their democratic power, bypassing public officials they deemed not responsive to their concerns about a policy of granting race-based preferences.”

Without affirmative action, where will the Racist Studies program, or the Gay/Lesbian Studies programs get their students?
Kids might want to study Engineering, or something, instead, and that simply cannot be allowed.
Amen. Really good news. Maybe now we can start to restore the great Universities we once had. It was a six two decision as well a good solid majority.
“It’s impossible,” Spencer said in a recent interview, “to achieve diversity on a regular basis if race cannot be used as one of many factors.””
A rather backwards admission that the black-IQ gap shown in “The Bell Curve” is a cruel reality.
I don’t get why the Supreme Court would uphold this ban yet say that discrimination in other cases is ok.
I voted for the ban. It was correct. Discrimination is wrong. Period.
I have been wondering about why Whites are racists and no other race is......
Michael Richards makes his point...Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point. This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points...
Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans..
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me ‘White boy,’ ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,’ ‘Whitey,’ ‘Caveman’... And that’s OK...
But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you.... So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah.
You have Ma’uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP.
You have BET....
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we’d be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month, we’d be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to ‘advance’ OUR lives, we’d be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we’d be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US .. Yet if there were ‘White colleges’, that would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, Homosexual, Lesbian and you’re not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, car jack us, Rape and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud...... But you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists??
There is nothing improper about this e-mail.. Let’s see which of you are proud enough to send it on. I sadly don’t think many will.
BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!
AA is illegal, unconstitutional, and unjust. It rewards failure and indolence. It penalizes successful people for possessing an irrelevant characteristic: light skin.
A little light in a sad era. Glad my state made this happen!
Let me guess:
Holder: So what? Ignore this ruling. We won’t stop you.
Outstanding! The race hustlers will be apoplectic.
Words escape me. Much as logic escapes "Spencer".
But this line. Please. What is contributing to the "dwindling minority enrollment" is the dwindling number of minority candidates who are qualified.
An honest media would write a headline to reflect the truth. Such as:
“USSC Prohibits discrimination based on Race!”
Either we cab discriminate based on race, or we can’t.
So, if there are blacks who graduate and can’t write, or even speak English, then everyone’s happy!
