Did you see his press release after Grutter v. Bollinger was decided, singing the praises of the decision?

Yes! And just what was the decision? The SCOTUS decided that Michigan could keep its admission policies in place for the graduate school. I didn't like that part of the decision. But they also decided that the point system that the university used for its undergraduates was wrong. Isn't that was the President said when he spoke before the decision?

The decision was not exactly what he (or we) wanted. However, the decision did strike down quotas and points. Since we have separation of powers, why not "praise" a partial victory since you can't tell the SC what to decide?

So, want to praise Casey v. Planned Parenthood, then? Because, after all, it was a partial victory over Roe v. Wade in that it reformulated the constitutional test for the permissibility of abortion restrictions.

Praising Grutter is still praising racism.
