Supreme Court observers are wondering why the court hasn’t ruled yet in a major affirmative action case.
The court is closing in on the end of its term, and legal experts have said for weeks that they thought a ruling in the affirmative action case was imminent.
--------
The Fisher case deals specifically with affirmative action at the University of Texas. The school automatically admits Texas residents who graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class. It then uses a holistic set of other factors — including race — to fill its remaining slots.
Because the top-10-percent policy does not account for race, this particular case might not present a strong vehicle for the court to rule broadly against affirmative action programs. If the court’s conservatives aren’t satisfied with such a narrow ruling, they could request new arguments to put broader issues on the table.

The Supreme Court sucks. Their opinion means nothing anymore. It may be looked upon as having the force of law but NOBODY in DC pays any attention to what the law is anymore, so why should we?
I do not object to the top 10 percent and even some holistic factors such as income and non-academic accomplishments as factors in admission; however, the use of race or ethnicity should be expressly prohibited.
It’s obvious that the NSA has a lot of dirt on the SCOTUS.
The big one is coming up this fall with the Michigan case. We voted to ban it in 06 and the court of appeals overturned it last fall based on the bizarre grounds that it was too expensive for AA supporters to continue to fight in court. (there’s no such thing as losing)

Gee, I wonder what the 9 psychopath tyrants are going to poop out of their mouths this time.
The exacta would be for the SC to rule against AA the same day Zimmerman is acquitted. Were that to happen, rioting would be a category 5 level.
How Roberts and Kennedy rule in this case will tell me a lot.
If both Roberts and Kennedy rule against affirmative action, we can have a little hope for the future. If Kennedy decides to support affirmative action and Roberts opposes it. That does not mean much because Robert’s decision was not pivotal in the case. If Kennedy decides against affirmative action and Roberts supports affirmative action, our gooses are well-cooked because this means that Roberts has gone full-retard or the opposition has something on him.
They’re being threatened and blackmailed.
Isn’t it obvious? Look at the IRS, FBI, DHS, etc. harassing political opponents. The regime _will_ stamp out all opposition, no?
If the regime does this harassment/stamping-out somewhat openly, doesn’t it follow that they’ll do the same and worse covertly?
We’re being had - by criminals in the executive branch.
Roberts is a really smart guy. They have something terrible on him - like threats to kill his kids terrible.
I do wish some Congressman would stand in the well and make these accusations a la Harry Reid with his accusations against the most recent lame candidate Rs had.
If, as a business owner, it’s illegal for me NOT to hire someone because of the color of their skin.......why then should they be promoted/hired for that very same reason?
Thanks SMGFan.
Why the delay?
Because Justice Roberts is still trying to figure a way to twist the reasoning of his decision so he can produce a result that keeps the blackmailers (Obama and Holder) off his back - at until the next important case wends its way to the court.
Gee, I wonder what the 9 psychopath tyrants are going to poop out of their mouths this time.
Whatever Obama tells them to pipe out.
Maybe.
If the president blackmailed me or threatened me, I would expose him. I would most certainly not assist him with his sins in order to further hide mine.
When one makes a mistake in life, one can either compound that mistake or man up and take the correct action to repair and learn from it.
To those that have compounded this situation, you have kept your sins hidden and you have committed even more worse sins by ignoring the rights God gave to men. May they all burn in Hell.
No doubt.
There are but mere appendages of the beast.
