What the leftists said on yesterday's talk shows:
When I'm president, we'll do executive orders to overcome any wrong thing the Supreme Court does tomorrow or any other day, said Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri.
Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich also made a pledge to put affirmative action into federal law as president. If this president doesn't want to let us be one nation, then it's time to elect a president who will let us be one nation, Kucinich said.
The president has divided us, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean said. He's divided us by race by using the word 'quotas.' There's no such thing as a quota at the University of Michigan, never has been.
Al Sharpton said Democrats shouldn't be talking about getting more blacks in high places, but getting the right blacks. If we doubt that, just look at (Supreme Court Justice) Clarence Thomas, he said. Clarence Thomas is my color, but he's not my kind.
Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman said the decision would particularly affect minority-owned media, but predicted it will be temporary. It is wrong; it is un-American, he said.
