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.
This is still a win, in that they didn't conquer.
Remember that in California they tried to nationalize racism. They tried to adjust their Civil Rights amendment to adjust the language from:
to
public orprivate organization may [negatively] discriminate on the basis of raceThey explicitly wanted to not only institutionalize "positive" discrimination. But they wanted to explicitly allow the state to be excluded from anti-discrimination law.
Yes, they'll do what they want, but we need stumbling blocks in their way to beat them with when they cross them.
