Supreme Court ENDS Jim Crow (in the form of striking down Affirmative Action.)

[reason10]

And wouldn't you know it? An appointee from an unqualified president who was elected SOLELY BECAUSE OF HIS COLOR had a problem with that.

Supreme Court Justices Thomas, Sotomayor read affirmative action opinions from the bench in rare move

Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor read their conflicting opinions on affirmative action from the bench on Thursday.

Justices on the court can choose to read their opinions aloud from the bench in rare instances when they want to call special attention to their position. Thomas did so for his concurring opinion with court's Thursday ruling against affirmative action, while Sotomayor read her own dissenting opinion.

"Today, and despite a lengthy interregnum, the Constitution prevails," Thomas declared in his opinion.

The 75-year-old justice lauded Thursday's majority opinion overturning decades of the U.S. judicial system allowing colleges and universities to admit or reject applicants based on their race, but also offered his own individual input.

"I write separately to offer an originalist defense of the colorblind Constitution; to explain further the flaws of the Court's Grutter jurisprudence; to clarify that all forms of discrimination based on race--including so-called affirmative action--are prohibited under the Constitution; and to emphasize the pernicious effects of all such discrimination."

This was the right thing to do. The disgrace is that it took so long. And it took justices from Bush and Trump to FINALLY get justice.

Of  course, the Obama appointee wanted to continue the racist policy.

"The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment enshrines a guarantee of racial equality," Sotomayor began. "The Court long ago concluded that this guarantee can be enforced through race-conscious means in a society that is not, and has never been, colorblind."

For those of you with an education, HERE'S the 14th Amendment.

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.

Section 2.

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.

Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4.

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5.

The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

I know you liberals have never read the 14th Amendment. You probably think it just repeat BLACK LIVES MATTER a hundred times.

NOTHING in Section One mentions ANY RACE WHATSOEVER. In fact, Section One reads more like the FIFTH Amendment.

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-5/

Fifth Amendment

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Thank GOD the Republican Senate under Obama disqualified that ambulance chasing Nazi mouthpiece Merrick Garland. He was about as qualified to sit on that panel as Peewee Herman.

I am sure throwing THAT dig into the equation somehow makes this a thread and topic worthy of discussion, amirite?

 

 

The way I remember debates, you agree with a ruling and state why and debate with people who may not agree with your views. But throwing strawman arguments out there, laced with racist rhetoric, definitely won't result in a debate or discussion. The only cure for this is have threads like this one ignored, as they offer nothing but hyperbole.

How is Harvard depriving anyone the equal protection of laws? What law did Harvard violate? 
 

If Muslims want to attend a Christian university such as Liberty, they have to be accepted equally, correct? 

[reason10]

How is Harvard depriving anyone the equal protection of laws? What law did Harvard violate?

You REALLY ARE STUPID.

Giving preference of one race over others WHICH IS WHAT HARVARD AND ALL THOSE SECOND RATE DIPLOMA MILLS DID violates the Equal Protection clause. Whether it is black over white, white over black, it violates equal protection, SAME AS JIM CROW, which your goose stepping side of aisle wrote into law.

As far as what law Harvard violated, here's the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT.

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/oasam/regulatory/statutes/title-vi-civil-rights-act-of-1964

§2000d Prohibition against exclusion from participation in, denial of benefits of, and discrimination under federally assisted programs on ground of race, color or national origin

No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

§2000d-4a. "Program or activity" and "program" defined

For the purposes of this subchapter, the term "program or activity" and the term "program" mean all of the operations of --

(1)(A) a department, agency, special purpose district, or other instrumentality of a State or of a local government; or

(B) the entity of such State or local government that distributes such assistance and each such department or agency (and each other State or local government entity) to which the assistance is extended, in the case of assistance to a State or local government;

(2)(A) a college, university, or other postsecondary institution, or a public system of higher education; or

(B) a local educational agency (as defined in section 198(a)(10) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965), system of vocational education, or other school system;

If Muslims want to attend a Christian university such as Liberty, they have to be accepted equally, correct? 

Nope. They must be accepted SOLELY on merit, competing with everyone else's test scores and SAT scores. Religion is included in the 14th Amendment.

There are only TWO universities in America that get ZERO government funding. Hillsdale University and Groves City college. If they wanted to. (and Hillsdale was the FIRST American university to graduate a black female, since Reconstruction), they would be immune to that law. No other college in America has that immunity. So a Christian college or a JEWISH college or a MUSLIM college would have to obey the same CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.

The Supreme Court today just overturned DECADES of Democrat JIM CROW LAWS.

I am sure throwing THAT dig into the equation somehow makes this a thread and topic worthy of discussion, amirite?

This is a political message board, where people come here with OPINIONS. As far as being worthy of discussion, we'll see. It's not a dig. It's a FACT, and everybody knows Obama was elected ONLY because of his color. He was one of the most incompetent presidents of all time and is known as the AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PRESIDENT. If he had been white or Asian, with his inexperience and extremist left wing views, he NEVER would have been elected president.

The way I remember debates, you agree with a ruling and state why and debate with people who may not agree with your views. But throwing strawman arguments out there, laced with racist rhetoric, definitely won't result in a debate or discussion. The only cure for this is have threads like this one ignored, as they offer nothing but hyperbole. 

There's NOTHING racist about what I just said. But YOU'RE a racist for bringing it up. 

Just admit it. You're too STUPID to discuss the actual subject of the thread. All you have is pissant whines and moans about my posted style.

TAKE A MIDOL, snowflake.
