Supreme Court Upholds Affirmative Action Ban

Via Billy

 

On Apr. 22 in Schuette v. BAMN, the Supreme Court of the United States held 6-to-2 that a Michigan constitutional amendment ending racial preferences in many aspects of state government does not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The Fourteenth Amendment was adopted in 1868 after the Civil War. One of its clauses forbids any state from denying any person “equal protection of the laws.” The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the central purpose of that clause is to end racially discriminatory state laws.

  1. Okay - so SCOTUS upheld the will of the people of Michigan. Will they also uphold the will of the people of Michigan who also declared by law that marriage is between one guy and one gal only. A dufus judge in Detroit ruled that unconstitutional, so we are off to the races on that one. It's all about the CHAOS, my friends.
