As usual, a fine piece of work by Mr. Steyn. In a day or so I'll finish a detailed write-up of the two Michigan cases for a legal website. I'll link that for those Freepers who want 18 pages of legal twaddle, but I personally recommend Steyn's analysis as shorter, and funnier.

Latest article, now up FR, "Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies."

His legal analysis is funny, even though the subject is deadly serious. He didn't mention (you can only pack so much brilliance into one article) that the "sharply divided" (a term liberals use when they lose narrowly) Supreme Court raised the fuzzy concept of "diversity" above explicit statements in the Bill of Rights. Various rights in the Bill of Rights can now be ignored if you invoke the magic word "diversity".

The sharply-divided Supreme Court has given liberals a road map on how to get around any other item in the Constitution they find inconvenient. I could see the Second Ammendment effectively destroyed by the Court choosing a test case with the proper leftist buzzwords for confiscation. And yet they'd point out that the Bill of Rights was still there on paper.

For the past couple of months, the RINO Detroit News has been running full-page "news" articles, and sometimes an entire section, stating the danger to society if affirmative action was struck down. The RAT Detroit Free Press, which is so far left it thinks it's in California, must have been even more panicky.

With all that fearmongering aimed at the general public, which can't influence the Supreme Court, imagine what was discussed at cocktail parties and email chats in DC. I'm sure the Justices picked up the whiff of fear, and knew that not only was life as we know it at risk, but maybe even civil war. Who wants to be blamed for that, when proclaiming Diversity to be a higher good than the Constitution itself.

Steyn is on a roll, but when isn't he? :)

I'd love to read your legal analysis.
