    Default Supreme Court Strikes Down Race Based Diversity(AP)


    The plans before us base school assignment decisions on students' race. Because 'our Constitution is colorblind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens,' such race-based decision making is unconstitutional,
    Clarence Thomas




    The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.
    The judgments of the Courts of Appeals for the Sixth and Ninth Circuits are reversed, and the cases are remanded for further proceedings.

    It is so ordered.
    ROBERTS, C. J.




    Supreme Court rejects school race plans


    By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer

    WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected diversity plans in two major school districts that take race into account in assigning students but left the door open for using race in limited circumstances

    The decision in cases affecting schools in Louisville, Ky., and Seattle could imperil similar plans in hundreds of districts nationwide, and it further restricts how public school systems may attain racial diversity.

    The court split, 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts announcing the court's judgment. The court's four liberal justices dissented.

    The districts "failed to show that they considered methods other than explicit racial classifications to achieve their stated goals," Roberts said.

    When people abandon the truth, they don’t believe in nothing, they believe in anything.

    The way to stop being stupid is to stop being stupid.

    The way to set good judicial precedent is to make good judicial decisions.

    The way to have good hair as Chief Justice is to spend a lot of time fixing your hair.

    Yes folks, we have idiots at the top of the Executive and Judicial branches of government. And Roberts will be around for a whole lot longer than the dumbass cowboy from TX.

    The concept of race is stupid. If people are too stupid to compete then we should just let em die!

    STOP INTERFERING WITH NATURE, ENVIRONMENTALISTS!
