  1.  @andrewgreenwood9068  The court didn't rule the opposite. They ruled that quotas are unconstitutional. What they found is that universities just changed the terminology to "diversity" but were still doing the same thing. They had different admissions criteria for different races, which is unconstitutional.

  2.  @andrewgreenwood9068  "changing the way laws work based on political opinion is not the job of the courts." That's not what they did. The Constitution only allows racial discrimination or segregation under extreme exceptional circumstances. (Example cited by court is stopping a prison race riot.) Affirmative action doesn't remotely meet such a standard. There's not even any evidence that it improves anything.

  3.  @sheli5483  That's not true. The lawsuit made Harvard race based admissions standards public. An Asian needs 250 points higher SAT to have the same chance of acceptance as a black.

  4. These lawsuits made it public that a black applicant at 40 percentile, has a better chance than an Asian at 90 percentile. You wanted blindness to racism.

  5.  @alexcampbell4297  You think ending racial discrimination makes people look bad? Weird perspective.

  6. This is just the opposite. The 14th Amendment doesn't allow racial discrimination in any institution that accepts federal money. The barely literate dissenting opinions were political.

  7.  @B.White70  Because you would never trust constitutional judgements with congress. That would turn the US into a 3rd world country. There are pathological liars and insider traders in congress, eg. Adam Schiff.

  8.  @sheli5483  The SCOTUS ruling was over admissions policy. They ruled that they can't discriminate based on race, with one caveat by Roberts. If say George Takei were applying he could give his story about the Democrats putting him in an internment camp out of racism, and how he got rejected from Harvard for being Japanese.

  9.  @andrewgreenwood9068  That last ruling on affirmative action, ruled that racial quotas were unconstitutional. But the universities just changed it to "diversity", and continued with racial preferences. This was incremental.

  10. The SCOTUS majority are much more capable than your brain, apparently. Being black isn't a disability.
