June 29, 20232 yr Well Colleges Universities are certainly free to use economic status, as a factor in the admissions process and admit more poor people, in effort to achieve a more diverse student body.

So only diverse people are poor? Or you just want them to take only the non-white poor people?

The activists running admissions aren’t going to change their selections just because the Supreme Court told them to. All you Trumpbot loons are firmly against going to college anyway, so it really doesn't affect you much.

June 29, 20232 yr Maybe the activists running admissions should go back to the way it was pre Affirmative Action and deny all the blacks admission because they are black. The folks against affirmative action used race as a reason to deny admissions. Hence the need for Affirmative Action. to the uneducated white male, diversity is the boogey man. White America, White Power is the cult credo.

June 29, 20232 yr After reading a few headlines and giving them a few moments thought, allow me to explain why everyone is wrong, stupid, and/or evil...
June 29, 20232 yr I don't disagree with the decision but I'm not sure how they reconcile it being ok for military (read: govt) admission decisions but not for civilians. That doesn't make sense to me either ethically or legally.

What, you mean failing to recuse yourself when you were the lone dissenter on a case for suppressing documents for those involved in January 6th when your wife was found to be communicating with Trump lawyers is a bad thing?? I bet next you're gonna tell me that accepting extravagant vacations, gifts, and money without disclosing them is also bad? I mean, come on, the guy's just trying to earn an honest living for crying out loud!
June 29, 20232 yr 12 minutes ago, JohnSnowsHair said: Ok. But the recusal still shows integrity. Thomas should take note, but he won't. She recused herself from the Harvard case, did not recuse herself from the UNC case and wrote a dissent for the combined case? Not exactly a true recusal. But definitely a deflection from the point I made.

Not exactly a true recusal. ok. Jackson has already recused herself from more cases in her short tenure than Thomas has the last 4 years. But hang on to the "not true" recusal.

If she recused the dissent would not exist, correct?

June 29, 20232 yr Just now, JohnSnowsHair said: She didn't have a vote in the ruling. That's recusal. It's not complicated. But references Harvard in her dissent. So, she didn't vote but wrote what her vote would have been?
June 29, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, BBE said: But references Harvard in her dissent. So, she didn't vote but wrote what her vote would have been? She withdrew her vote. She didn't weigh in on the debate. But when the vote was complete she was given the honor of writing a dissent. She withdrew from the process of deciding the case. That's recusal. Who wrote the dissenting opinion is irrelevant to whether they are recused. If they weren't involved in deciding the case they're recused.
June 29, 20232 yr Not to mention she was part of the ruling around UNC, because she had no conflict of interest there. She's still recused herself more in a few months than Thomas has in four years. Her integrity is less of the issue than Thomas's lack of it.
