NEW: In 6-3 decision, Supreme Court rules race-based Affirmative Action programs are unconstitutional, violate the 14th Amendmen...
The Supreme Court just struck a blow to Affirmative Action, ruling race-based college admissions quotas unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment.
Good decision and without a doubt correct, but I can't help but feel like colleges will find a way to do it anyway.
Yeah, I'm concerned about that as well. I don't know the minute details of the case in question, but my understanding is that these schools don't explicitly consider race. What they do is "holistically" consider the applicant, and whites and Asians conveniently always score the lowest on the subjective parts. I don't know how to police that, especially when the colleges certainly won't implement the ruling in good faith.
The soft bigotry of low standards, ah... finds a way.
They can always discriminate by race through some proxy. "Holistic admissions" etc.
The decision specifically speaks to that and forbids it. They are welcome to try, we all just need to be ready to insta-sue them into oblivion because they will lose every time and lose hard.
Most likely, they'll just openly defy the courts and suspend any Republican from practicing law by the bar association.
