I just think that folks should make a choice. If we want the Supreme Court (via the 14th Amendment) to tell the states how to write their admissions policies for their schools, we shouldn't complain when the the Court uses the same amendment to tell the states how to write their criminal laws.

Scenic, the problem with your analogy is that it was the "liberals" who made state college admission policies a matter of federal jurisdiction. They even enacted a federal law (1964 Civil Rights Act) which bans racial discrimination by government, which includes state universities. Then, when the opportunity arose to practice a form of racial discrimination they like, the "liberals" suddenly demanded that we ignore all those rulings and laws they've imposed the past 40 years.

If you want to make a case that ALL state colleges, and certainly private colleges, should be free from federal interference, you might have a point. However, "liberals" are wanting to have their cake and eat it, too. They want the feds to have jurisdiction over state colleges and even private colleges, EXCEPT when those colleges practice a form of discrimination they personally approve of. Then, they want to ignore their own laws.

It's the left, not the right, that's being inconsistent here.

The Supreme Court did not do that. They frequently tell the states, however, that some matter may not be criminalized, which is a different issue.
