A federal appeals court struck down the ban on affirmative action approved by voters in 2006.

The court says the ban puts an extraordinary burden on those who have to mount a long expensive campaign if they want to protect it.

And when dealing with government regulators such as the EPA (as I do daily), we are always told, “financial burdens are no defense in efforts to comply”.

"a federal right that all citizens "have equal access to the tools of political change.""

I'm unclear on whether that is within the Constitutional Umbra or Penumbra.

Since anthropologists claim mankind moved out of Africa and spread throughout the world, then everyone can claim to be African-American and get a piece of the affirmative action pie

So according to the court, *everybody* has a right to the tool known as “affirmative action?”

That is going to be news to the many associations and government-funded organs for the advancement of segregation.

So according to the court, *everybody* has a right to the tool known as “union elections?”

The UAW is going to be surprised to discover that *all of us* now have the right to vote in union elections. *SO COOL!* We don’t need to prove that we are citizens, and we don’t need any photo ID, and we don’t need to prove that we work - because the unions certainly have no requirement that voters are working!

Eureka!

We can *ALL* vote now in *ANY* political election!

This has to be by affirmative action lawyer/judges. To have a mindset that says one part of society must have unburdened rights over another part of society with burden of need for voting is preposterous. Only from a distorted view of social justice could such a decision be made. If possible this needs to try for remedy higher up.

Conservatism can’t survive for the long-term, if leftist activist judges are allowed to survive for the long-term, too! How can leftist activist judges and all of their ongoing behaviors, finally, come to an end, too?

WTFreak? Since when is a law upheld on the basis of legal fees? Tar and feathers was the founders response to BS like this.
