Supreme Court opposes racism

Over the last few years, I’ve been criticizing the United States Supreme Court for any number of boneheaded decisions. They have all but ended the 4^th Amendment and have shown serious lack of understanding the roots of the Constitution and the role it plays in limiting the power of government. The Obamacare decision is a case in point.

However, every once in a while, they get something right. In this case, they have finally figured out that giving anyone a preference due to their skin color is a really bad idea. The whole point of the United States is that we are all created equal. In this case, the court ruled that Michigan’s ban on the use of racial preferences for collage admission was within the constitution/ Here are the details from the Washington Times:

The Supreme Court on Tuesday restored common sense as well as the word of the Constitution by upholding Michigan’s ban of racial preferences in state college admissions. Michigan voters had put the ban in their state constitution, ordering state colleges and universities not to “discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.”

This was clear, straightforward language that even a judge could understand, and the vote as an unequivocal 6 to 2, with the liberal Justice Stephen Breyer joining the usual five conservative justices. They understood George Orwell’s point, in his novel “1984,” that proclaiming that war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength — and, in this case, colorblindness is racism — does not make it so.

This is a fairly major ruling ((Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action)) in many ways, the biggest one was that it was 6 justices to 2 justices. (Justice Kagan recused herself) To have Comrade Justice Breyer voting with the conservative justices is, in itself, a surprise. What wasn’t a surprise was Justices “I hate the US Constitution ((Why Does Justice Ginsburg Prefer the South African Constitution?))” Bader-Ginsberg and “Wise Latina ((Sotomayor’s ‘wise Latina’ comment a staple of her speeches))” Sotomayor dissenting.

Now the reasons for the decision are rather straightforward. You don’t fix racism with more racism, no matter what the PLFD’s think.

After decades of affirmative-action nonsense the public understands that however well-intentioned such policies may be, affirmative action reinforces the notion that minorities can’t succeed on their own merits. Sometimes, when they do, accomplishment means little.

The truth hurts doesn’t it? I recall that UCLA used to troll through the poorer schools looking for minority candidates. Very few completed the classes at UCLA, and most dropped out. This wasn’t due to their being “Inferior,” it was due to their being forced to attend inferior public schools.

When white applicants for admissions are rejected to favor less-qualified minorities, it invariably fuels racial resentment. The quota system once used by the University of California at Berkeley meant that highly qualified Asian students were rejected to favor other minorities so admissions could create a “desirable” and arbitrary “mix.”

Typical of the PLFD’s. Don’t try to get the best and brightest, no matter what their skin tone or eye shape was, just make the pictures look good. You know, if these universities did something useful, like work to improve the public schools these poor kids are forced to attend, why I would wager they would see a large uptick in the numbers of applicants of recent African decent that were actually qualified. But know, that would mean actually doing something useful.

By Any Means Necessary, a coalition of the left that sought to overturn the Michigan amendment, demands admissions based on racial calculus.

Oh I like that name. By Any Means Necessary? Sounds like they are one step short of bomb throwing.

The group’s spokesman called Tuesday’s ruling in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action “racist” and said that “this court is declaring its intention to uphold white privilege and to create a new Jim Crow legal system.”

I’ll have more on that barking moonbat screaming racism since she didn’t get what they wanted in another post. She’s a real prize winning knothead. Which brings us to another pair of Liberal Moonbat knotheads. That would be the dissenting justices.

In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor bought into the convoluted reasoning that banning the use of racial preferences unfairly targets minorities. “Today’s decision eviscerates an important strand of our equal-protection jurisprudence,” she wrote, joined only by the hopelessly liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

By her very words, that racist Progressive Liberal Fascist Democrat, Sonia Sotomayor, has demonstrated her unfitness to be a member of the Bar, never mind the United States Supreme Court. And Ruth Bader Ginsburg? I really wonder if she could be impeached for treason considering her past comments and ruling. (Please note I am not talking about criminal arrest and trial on charges of treason. Impeachment is a political process, not a criminal one)

And in closing:

Most of all, the decision was a victory for common sense. School administrators shouldn’t be in the position of treating the student body like a television set where it can be lightened or darkened with the turn of a knob. It makes only good sense to say that a qualified student is welcome, regardless of his — or her — race or creed.

Exactly. America is the Great Melting Pot. We take in people from all across the globe, (Legally that is, not those jumping the border), and we make them part of us. Americans. My wife is a Chinese national. My brother in-law is Hispanic. I used to work with a woman who adopted a Chinese girl the same time I married my wife. (And she is cute as a button too!)

I see couples who cover the entire spectrum of skin tones, and you know what? It doesn’t matter. The problem with this “Race Relations” nonsense is those who can’t get past someone’s skin color. Most of them are on the political left. The ones on the right generally don’t give a damn about how well someone handles direct sunlight, they only care about how they are as a person. Oh wait. PLFD’s don’t do “Individuality” and “Personal Responsibility.” It’s all about pitting one group against another. Progressive Liberal Democrats. They live by the creed, “Divide and Rule.” I’m glad a large majority of the USSC finally is coming to understand that skin tone doesn’t matter.

Thatisall
