The United States Supreme Court may decide to take up a direct challenge to affirmative action policies – in this case, Harvard University’s use of racial quotas for their admissions standards.
The case has been scheduled for discussion by the Justices for June 10.
As is the practice, four or more Justices must agree to grant a review of a case.
The case could could have far-reaching effects on the nation’s colleges and universities using raced-based admissions standards, which, in an election year could also have consequences.
The schools have already lowered the standards so low as to make a degree worthless anyway. As usual the courts have dragged their feet so long that the judgement rendered will be no more than another toothless symbolic gesture.
Reverend King would be happy if four or more SCOTUS justices vote to take on this case.
Affirmative Action is nothing more than Reverse Racism. It is judging people by the colour of their skin and not by the content of their character (merit).
…IIRC, Roberts and the junior justices are so afraid of angry Black people riots that they went ahead and committed treason by allowing a fraudulent election to stand that resulted in the illegal pedophile we have posing a president today, and also that at least 2 of the “justices” ARE Affirmative Action hires, ONE of which is OPENLY racist, so I don’t see this going anywhere, thanks for playing, tho…
…Just to clarify, Kagan and Sotomayor are the AA hires.
Justice Thomas earned the HELL out of HIS position and is fully worthy of it IMHO…
About time for John Roberts to have another seizure.
Do we dare to dream?
Breaking news – Blacks are now required to meet the same standards as everyone else in regards to education, employment, and social behavior.
In a related story, mostly peaceful riots and claims of racism have increased over 1000%.
Good.
After five decades, enough of this shit already.
Affirmative action in admissions and hiring and contract preferences et al. needs to be banned across the board as the obnoxious, offensive, and unconstitutional practice it is.
It is now very apparent that MLK was used by the racial grievance empire
which had no interest in racial equality but wanted leverage to exploit it!
There’s a whole lot of things SCOTUS *could* do that they don’t.
