jammer did hide a well, but here it is

Take the current case and argue against it, but not against the entire unconstitutionality of affirmative action?

He said The President

Amendment XIV

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

[Ben Ficklin]

There is only one case before the court. Bush has filed a brief on that one case.

This is not the first case of this nature before SCOTUS.

[alnick]

White students brought suit against the university; therefore the two sides in the case that Bush could side with are the white students who sued or the university. So Bush did indeed side with the white students who brought suit.

[TLBSHOW]

That's the same tactic the RATS use.... Go-figure


there is a rat in this story and its a democrat rat
it was a rat that started it as they tried to destroy America over the last 40 yeas, it was President democrat Johnson.

TLBSHOW, You must win the case first in order to set precidence, and build from there. This case is the start, not the whole ball of wax. This is my main gripe with you "I gotta have it all right now or I vote for a hopeless .02%r" crowd. This country has to be taken back the same way it has taken away. One step at a time. BUT NO, You knee jerk reactionaries want to blow this perfect opportunity by trying to win it all back in one case.

If these two students win the case, How many more cases simular to theirs do you think will be filed tomorrow?

Think with vision Todd, This is chess not checkers

[oldtimer]

Let's just get it up on the table, we are involved in CLASS WAREFARE in the US.

There is no way the left can be placated, nor Jesse, Al, as it is always a full court press with whites objecting being bigots.

Any objection to their demands is bigotry and hatecrimes. DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD!

[MJY1288]

"This is not the first case of this nature before SCOTUS"

My point exactly, If this case is won, Next week there will be someone who was denied a job in a simular fashion use this case as precidence and it will forever live as "CASE LAW" until the SCOTUS reverses it. If we could only get these doom and gloom reversed binoculars off these critters we might see a change for the good

[oldtimer]

Sorry about the spelling. WARFARE

[TLBSHOW]

It is against the constituion when it was started. President can end it.
It is not even a matter of more court dates.

We can end it period.

[Miss Marple]

How can "we" end it? How can the President end it? Do you think he is KING?

Rush counts on people like you, who react with emotion, rather than reason.

I look forward to your REASONED explanation.

[MJY1288]

LOL, I give up, You will never get it, See ya

"George W. Bush, like the good politician he is, wants to compromise on most issues, including this one. And I don't like that."

Why do we feel compelled to change everything in one sweeping move?

I don't often compliment DemocRAT strategy, but I do admire their sheer patience...and commitment to alter society and law in incremental steps. And, if you look objectively at what they've been able to change over the past 30 years, you'd have to admit their strategy has worked.

It's MHO that we'd do well to incorporate a bit of this strategy into our own. We will win more friends, garner more support and achieve far more if we used "incremental change" when appropriate. ~ And, it's appropriate now.

Kudos to President Bush for his principles and political skills.

"It is against the constituion when it was started. President can end it. It is not even a matter of more court dates.

We can end it period.

With that kind of logic, outlawing Partial Birth Abortion would reverse Roe v Wade.

Todd you are clueless

[MissAmericanPie]

In other words, it's ok to use affirmative action, you just have to be more sneaky about how you do it?

[lawdude]

"I don't know where you or Rush get your news, but this was widely reported on the 15th"


Reference, please?

[mrsmith]

" Rush Limbaugh and his so-called legal advisors just want attention from the weakest links"

Nah, Rush wanted to cut the legs out from under the liberals who characterize the brief as extreme.

(The attention from the "weakest links" just naturally followed.)

1985
Efforts by some in the Reagan administration to repeal

Executive Order 11246

were thwarted by defenders of affirmative action,

including other Reagan administration officials and members of Congress from both parties.

I see. And that ended it exactly how, Todd?
