Which is at odds with the thinking that voters can determine whether or not sodomy MUST be celebrated in violation of 5,000+ years of civilized society and the Creator.
Free at last!
Can a state make a law giving whites preference?
The Leftist argument comes down to, “Racism is good, when we do it.”
When did AZ become a "big state?"
Ginsberg and Sotomayor were the 2 no votes.
and hope for those who want affirmative action. Can’t these judges ever uphold the constitution. How can you allow states to have affirmative action when it discriminates against so many of their citizens?
“Ginsberg and Sotomayor were the 2 no votes.”
And basically, their opinion was “Affirmative action is not only OK, it’s mandated by the Constitution.”
I guess they found that somewhere in the penumbra of Sotomayor’s giant lesbian ass.
My daughter recently asked if it was legal for a potential employer to ask your race. I told her I thought it was illegal. Also I made my son an appointment with a specialists and one of the questions they asked over the phone was ethnicity or race, which they prefaced with this is a legal question and you have the right to not answer it. Which I did not answer, as I do not know the purpose the info is being sort.
The official response from Mi attorney general Bill Schuette.
Well, it’s the Constitutional mandate for diversity.
I never answer the racial question over the phone or when filling out forms. For one thing, it isn’t anyone’s business. For another, I don’t have any way of knowing what they are doing with the information. For instance, why does my cell phone company want to know my race? My guess is if I lie they’ll know that I’m lying and I won’t be getting anything for free (and don’t want anything), but why do I have a feeling if I tell the truth there’s some hidden charge where I end up paying for other peoples’ free stuff? I’m sure there’s no getting around it, but then why do they even ask?
Somewhere in Arizona is an old woman shrieking “No! No! I said they need 25 more years!”
But her bitter screams were happily ignored....
Yes, it's the Compelling State Interest that Madison and Jefferson wrote into their noble compact...
The one you have to intuit by searching for Umbras and Penumbras that also remain um, unseen...
Everything not forbidden is mandatory.
“affirmative action” is illegal, unconstitutional, and wrong. Makes no difference if there’s a law, or what the supreme court says.
Sigh...even the once vaunted WSJ.
“I never answer the racial question over the phone or when filling out forms.”
I always say I am black.
In fact, I think everyone should say they are black.
“...In a lengthy dissent joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice Sonia Sotomayor disagreed, finding that Michigans voter-approved law illegally discriminates against minorities,...”
*********************************************************************
So, the two voting Über-Progressives think the law discriminates AGAINST minorities because it doesn’t allow discrimination FOR them.
You can’t make such strange thinking up!
A medical specialist might need to know race to know what to look for. There are medical differences between the races, sickle cell being an example.
