Supreme Court Rules, 5-4, That School Assignments Cannot Be Based on Race

So, by definition, we have 4 racists on the supreme court. ANY policy based on race is racist, plain & simple. Why can't the law be colorblind. I deplore racism, even when it's supposedly to correct past wrongs. That's one ugly, slippery slope.

Now that Ronald Reagan’s disastrous appointee O’Connor is off the bench, Roberts and Alito tipped the decision. Amen! Thank you GW!

"It's about time." You said it! Only the father of a friend of mine said it better when she married her live in boyfriend--"It's about d@m# time!"

Wouldn't you just know the 4 libs would vote against it? When it is and has been a no-brainer.

Have you noticed that 5-4 decisions that go our way indicate a “divided court”, while 5-4 decisions that go liberal are “closely decided?”

Something that W did right, that we sometimes forget. (Easy to understand with the current immigration debate raging)

Good job Mr.President!

We were fortunate to live in a district where busing was not an issue to “balance” the schools. I felt deeply for those parents who had to put their kids on buses early in the day, and had to wait till late in the day for their return. It was an abomination. (However, I did read that some parents liked the idea because they could put their kid on a bus, go to work, and pick up the kid after they got off work. Sort of a rolling day care. Still, I thought this sort of “balancing” was horrible and abusive.)

Chief Justice Roberts:

"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

How many years have we had to wait for such clarity?

Something W did that's half right. Roberts was a great pick. Harriet Miers on the other hand...

No one could have put it more true or simple than that.
