Opponents of the ban say it creates barriers for minorities and women that don't exist for other groups, such as veterans seeking preference. So what exactly are the barriers? Having to compete on the same terms as everyone else?

(the only way to argue this is to unequivocably state that minorities are inferior, and cannot possibly succeed on a level playing field)That is the democrat position.

Affirmative action, in my lifetime, has been little more than the fairness fetishists’ unintended consequence, poisoning the future in a futile attempt to correct the past.

I have to agree with Mariner at Post #12. There is de facto affirmative action in California. Leftists don’t need no stinking laws.

It wont last long? I mean this is the same court that brought gay marriage to California, via the back door and against the will of the people that voted.
But give credit where credit is due I guess. I guess we see the California Courts showing their real colors on Nov 2nd Arizona day, via the 9th circuit this time
