The United States Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions in a 6-3 decision on Thursday, blocking higher educational institutions from considering race in admissions decisions.
The centrality of race to the case prompted a war of words between the Court's two Black justices in their respective opinions, with each offering starkly different views of the role that race should play in decision-making by policymakers writ large.
In his own 57 page long concurring opinion, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas — a staunch conservative appointed by Republican President George H.W. Bush — argued that "all forms of discrimination based on race — including so-called affirmative action" are prohibited under the US Constitution, offering a full-throated defense "colorblindness" in the founding document.

Jackson's own 29-page dissent is dedicated to explaining the "universal benefits of considering race" in higher education, arguing that such considerations are important due to the "intergenerational transmission of inequality" that originated with slavery and continued through subsequent government policies in the decades since then.
"Given our history, the origin of persistent race-linked gaps should be no mystery," Jackson wrote. "History speaks. In some form, it can be heard forever. The race-based gaps that first developed centuries ago are echoes from the past that still exist today. By all accounts, they are still stark."

In other words: Ketanji think Clarence be acktin wite.
You win the Internet for today with that one!
Jackson didn’t even come close to writing her “defense”
If it wasn’t for people being obsessed with race she wouldn’t be on the court!
Simmer down kadeesha jackson brown. We know you came from money. CT, not so much.
The slaves of the Dem plantation are beating their war drums and sending out blasts against all those black whoite supremacists like Clarence Thomas........who is only on the court cuase he i s black, his intellectual brilliance and prowess got nuffin to do wif it.Thomas is a self made man.
IN short, affirmative action and critical race theory are dead on arrival with America as race based discrimination, no longer appropriate or necessary after 40 years of their implementation. Time to move on.
Jackson, go to Nantucket and get Obama to suck it!
She’s not considering race. The plaintiffs were East Asian, a different race is it not? She only wants to consider color.
Jackson is completely unqualified to be on the Supreme Court. Puppet Biden himself said he was going to ONLY appoint a black woman (Jackson does not know what a woman is).
She is ONLY on the court because of Affirmative Action. The same can be said for nearly ALL the Pygmy’s in the Biden regime.
CamelToe Harris is unqualified.
Lloyd Austin is unqualified.
Marcia Fudge is unqualified.
Adewale Adeyemo is unqualified.
Lesbo Haitian Jean-Pierre is unqualified.
Michael Regan is unqualified.
ALL OF THEM ARE unfit and unqualified for any job in the federal government except for perhaps janitorial services. /spit
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that "Token" on South Park was actually named after celebrated author J.R.R. Tolkien.
I’ll put it simply… She’s an idiot and a perfect example of an affirmative action hire.
You must realize that someone as STUPID as this woman WOULD NEVER be ON the SCOTUS without AA, you can bet that someone who can’t even depict what a woman IS would NEVER have made it into law school without AA, it is appalling to me that such ignorance sits on the SCOTUS, Clarence Thomas is to good to even wipe his feet on her!!!
Exactly
Decorum and tradition shredded again by a rat. One SC Justice does not criticize another.. until now.
I wonder which assistant wrote the dissent for her?
Affirmative Action hire says what?
Yeah...stupid to eveen speak up and look stupider!!!
Business Inside Her = Stalinazi Propaganda
“intergenerational transmission of inequality” = raced based quota systems forever
Jackson is an insult to herself. She may be an insult to her parents, and her law school. Her race has nothing to do with it, except that a collection of guilt-ridden white leftists thought they had to help her up, since she couldn't possibly do it herself.
