The double-speak regarding the SCOTUS position on this is no more apparent than in the opening sentence of this article...University can favor...as long as they do not automatically favor.
What Bravo Sierra rubbish
As a nation, our strength comes from many diverse peoples uniting to become ONE, as in UNITED we stand. Those diverse thoughts and ways that are compatible with liberty as enumerated in our Constitution are then combined into the greater whole underneath that banner and we all become stronger for it.
But, to punctuate diversity in and of itself for its own sake as a strength is to engage in more double speak of the PC variety...with all of its double-speak meaning. The root of diverse is divide... as in divide and conquer. This view of diversity as respects our Constitution and liberty is highly destructive...and meant to be.
Just my opinion.
Which I whole-heartedly share, Jeff. So, how do we get these SOBs impeached? Of the present Court, only three justices seem to have any regard for what the Constitution requires. Of the others, at least one of them -- Sandra Day O'Connor -- seems to espouse a legal theory that can only be described as "textual deconstructionism."
The two recent decisions are completely frightening to me, chilling in their implications....
