Scalia: Wake me up as soon as she’s finished reading her dissent or if I start snoring.
Scalia must feel bad having a fight with an intellectual ‘tard.
**The scuffle erupted over Sotomayor’s not so thinly veiled inference that the hateful majority of voters in Michigan must be a bunch of blazing cat fur racists. Going one step further, she even invoked Jim Crow laws in her comments. **
No too smart, are you lady?
**“As Justice Harlan observed over a century ago, ‘[o]ur Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens,’” Scalia concluded, quoting the dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson. “The people of Michigan wish the same for their governing charter. It would be shameful for us to stand in their way.”
And then, the Parthian shot: “And doubly shameful to equate ‘the majority’ behind [the constitutional amendment] with ‘the majority’ responsible for Jim Crow,” he added in a final footnote, citing the first two pages of Sotomayor’s dissent.**
Way to go, Scalia!
Sotomayor wouldn’t be on the Court but for Affirmative Action.
Affirmative Action, which liberals LOVE, is a racist policy that rests on the implicit premise that if you’re a minority,you’re not good enough to do it yourself. (No wonder liberals support it fervently.)
It’s what former President Bush called “the soft bigotry of low expectations.”
Leftists want anything but judging a person on the content of their character. Divide, dissent, lie, cheat and steal. That’s all they do.
Also read Justice Kennedy’s opinion. He points out that the logic used by the Wise Latina and other attackers of Michigan’s defense of racial equality is based on all the belief all Blacks think alike, all Hispanics think alike, all Asians think alike, and so on. So Sonya, tell me, who are the real racists in this case?
We know these types. The real issue was that traitor - Roberts. Nuff said.
Red Sonia sounds as smart as a 7 year old
“Affirmative Action, which liberals LOVE, is a racist policy that rests on the implicit premise that if you’re a minority,you’re not good enough to do it yourself. (No wonder liberals support it fervently.)”
I remember when we had the Bakke decision here in CA where racial set asides were allowing unqualified minorities into the UC David Medical School. This was the ultimate idiocy. We allow an unqualified minority to become an unqualified doctor who then goes back and “treats” his brethren in the hood. How’s that helping the minority community?
Worse yet whole societies become infected with AA fever and they begin promoting them in mainstream circles and are always given a pass no matter how many people they kill or maim.
Just as a reminder, it was Poppy Bush who put her on this path with her first nomination to a judgeship.
She’s the product of a Bush judicial nomination.
The first Pres. Bush is the one who first nominated her to be a judge.
Just musing here. Maybe the Justices realized that without Affirmative Action, Obama might not have become President.
Is the Democrat Party’s lingering support of the un-Constitutional Affirmative Action Law mainly due to their guilt that the Democrat Party founded the KKK?
I'll start with the second part regarding "guilt" and the KKK. Thomas Sowell wrote a column which was something like this:
If I hated blacks, and I wanted them to get an inferior education, broken families, high crime rates with high rates of homicides and drug usage, high out of wedlock births, and no hope of ever breaking out of the devastating circumstances they find themselves in, I wouldn't join the KKK, I would join the Democrat party.
In short, I don't think the Democrats have any feelings of guilt for founding the KKK because they have accomplished so much more catastrophic harm to blacks that the KKK could ever have.
Affirmative Action is another tool of the Democrats to accomplish much that is harmful to America. AA guarantees that over the years, the public sector, the private sector, and the military will be harmed by having to recruit, hire, and promote people who are clearly unqualified for the positions they are obtaining. If AA harms America, the Democrats are for it. If AA can be used to garner votes because stupid people must be admitted to higher education, the Democrats are for it.
I am hoping that in essence, the USSC has finally understood the paralysis AA has caused to Government, Education, Private Business, and the Military.
Then again, maybe not. Maybe the Justices thought that this wasn't anything more than a States rights case.
Thanks for your insightful reply. Dr. Sowell was right on the mark with that article!
___________________________
We still have “a bunch of folks,” (to use a Haaaaaavud educated Obama phrase), that hang onto the racial hatreds of the 1960’s: for example, Revs. Sharpton and Jackson.
For them, nothing has changed since the pre 1960’s, and so they make a living by race-baiting with speeches, accusations, and of course, arm in arm “marches.”
To them, they receive with deaf ears the statement: “If you accuse someone of being a racist, and do NOT back it up with facts, - - - - - - - - - - - then you just might be a racist.”
Sowell's article was a true eye opener. Over the years one only has to look at liberal run schools and cities, and see how deadly accurate Sowell was.
