While I love President Bush I don't have to agree with everything he does and says. When I don't agree 100% I am then called a hater!

So I guess Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin are haters too? What a joke.

And in his remarks Wednesday on the University of Michigan case now before the Supreme Court, Bush voiced continuing support for the Clinton-Gore-Reno fantasy that government-engineered racial diversity can and should be achieved "without using quotas" or other unconstitutional means. As examples of model programs, Bush cited public university admissions plans in his home state of Texas and his brother Jeb's state of Florida.

As I've noted before, W.'s "10 percent" and Jeb's "20 percent" plans are the same old, tired racial-preference policies disguised under the slipcover of "compassionate conservatism." Jeb's "Talented 20" program, for example, guarantees state university admission to the top 20 percent of students in every Florida high school senior class.

Michelle Malkin is full of it in her characterizations one the One Florida policy and of the policy in Texas.

The 10% and 20% things that were set up by George W. and Jeb are based on MERIT - how one did in their high schools. NIETHER program uses race as a criteria.

It's easy for her to pntificate in a syndicated column or in some book or on Fox News - she's not the one who faces the voters. George W. is the one who's out on the front lines, and has the task of putting foot to left-wing butt.

These are crappy policies, won't achieve racial quotas in many other states, reinforce housing segregation, and drag down standards. They are, however, race-neutral and IMHO therefore are not unconstitutional. The battle we're fighting here is to prevent schools from using race as an explicit parameter in deciding who to admit. The two briefs are squarely on our side in that battle. The trite nonsense about 'diversity' is irrelevant, and I'm confident that Antonin Scalia will have his usual cruel fun with it.
