Moran said that with the advent of the Internet, he gets a lot of critical e-mails and that he likes the feedback.

Then I'm sure Mr. Moran won't mind me letting you know that his email address is terry.moran@abc.com.

Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., alluded to the Trent Lott scandal in his comments from the Senate floor following Bush's announcement, suggesting the two events fit a pattern.

"Once again today, the administration has shown as clearly by their actions as anyone can, that they will continue to side with those opposed to civil rights and opposed to diversity in this country," he said.

Count on little tommy to repeat his Divide Amerika rants...

Gee, Rep. Elijah Cummings, how come there are no whites allowed in the Congressional Black Caucus? That wouldn't be discrimination now, would it?

The reporter will say what he did was give context to Bush's remarks. What he did was place his remarks in an unfair context. And I took it personally ... because I think what happened to Trent Lott should have happened. And I think affirmative action is another name for injustice. It just changes the victims. So what this guy did in his report is insult me. He called me a hypocrite. ... and he called everybody who believes as [I] do a hypocrite racially," said Burns.

Hooray!

"It comes from both the Left and the Right. And it strikes me, the only thing that satisfies those who get angry is if you echo people's pre-existing prejudices," Moran said.

He's "punting" on the question of his own bias. It is, after all, professionally tricky, to report the news AND influence perception the correct way.

Considering race "as a factor" for admission is not an issue, really. After all, colleges consider the children of alumni "as a factor" for admission.

The problem is quotas. The problem is artificially adding "points" to admission scoring based on race alone. This introduces discrimination of blacks and hispanics over whites and asians. Its wrong, and hopefully the Supreme Court will do more than produce a narrowly focused decision. They now have an opportunity to resolve some issues.

I have yet to hear any news media reporting that the 14th Amendment proscribes discrimination on the basis of race, period. This political "debate" should be about the repeal of the 14th, except that our pesky Constitution obstructs social planners.

The SCOTUS has only one ruling, aka reiteration, to make: our Constitution as amended forbids any and all race based discrimination.
