June 28, 2007 Reid: Supreme Court Decision On School Desegregation Is Judicial Activism
Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada made the following statement today in response to the Supreme Court’s decision on school desegregation:
"The Supreme Court decision in the school desegregation cases is appalling. Ever since Brown v. Board of Education, it has been settled law that the Constitution requires racially mixed schools. Today's decision turns Brown upside down and ignores decades of constitutional history. If this isn't judicial activism, I don't know what is."
"The Supreme Court decision in the school desegregation cases is appalling. Ever since Brown v. Board of Education, it has been settled law that the Constitution requires racially mixed schools. Today's decision turns Brown upside down and ignores decades of constitutional history. If this isn't judicial activism, I don't know what is."
Well, before Brown vs Board it was also settled law. Pendulmns swing.
It isn't and you are right, you don't.

Hip hip Hooray?
For the verdict and that Reid is Po’ed.

< Geico caveman voice > Uh...WHAT? < /Geico caveman voice >
I’d say Reid’s desperately attempting to change the topic from the obvious one - his inability to get anything done as SML.
Today’s vote demonstrated this in spades.
Poor Harry, he’s having a really bad day ô¿ô¬
Reid: “Ever since Brown v. Board of Education, it has been settled law that the Constitution requires racially mixed schools.”
Reid is an idiot.
Harry, wake up Harry...this is just a small correction of one example of the outrageous judicial activism by liberal usurpers.
tisk tisk Harry. I honestly can not figure out if you are stupid or ignorant.
Either way the people of Nevada need to be brought to bare over their choice of senator.
Huh? I thought that Brown said that schools could not be legally segregated by race. Ironically, IIRC, Linda Brown was forced to be bused to an all black school instead of being allowed to go to the local school which was for whites only.
The opinion is very long, but did anymore read Thomas' concurrence where Seattle, one of the school district's fighting for race-based school selection in the name of diversity, nevertheless approved an all-black charter school called the "African-American Academy"?
I wonder if the word is being circulated that another one or two of the libs left on the court are about to bow out and Dingy Harry is starting to set the stage to oppose more conservative nominees.
Brown went too far in letting bureaucrats get away from actually educating, rather than being a play thing for social experimentation.
nybody have a citation to the case in question????
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in a 1995 ruling (quoting Justice Sandra Day O’Connor): “At the heart of the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection lies the simple command that government must treat citizens as individuals, not as components of a racial class.”
“Ever since Brown v. Board of Education, it has been settled law that the Constitution requires racially mixed schools.”
What an ignorant turd. Brown just said that the government can’t enforce segregation. It was later judicial activism that came up with all the enforced integration plans.
” that the Constitution requires racially mixed schools.”
What? Harry has been hanging out at the casinos again.
This idiot is either very stupid, or he thinks Americans are very stupid, or both.
Hey Harry, can you read? You habla that ingles?
Unfeakin believable. This fool really is dangerous.
This is great, we’ve gat a twofer.
The SCOTUS ruling and Dingy Harry is upset.
With the Senate vote it makes it an historic day!
