The whole selection process is based on "discrimination."

If you read my reply to Nadine, you know I was using the "Code Phrase" instead of being explicit. "Mea Culpa." I meant to say, it is wrong to discriminate in favor of skin color or Surname.

First off, "Friends of the Court" briefs like this have little or no bearing in these type of cases, so all we are really having is a Political argument about how Bush handled it. Badly, IMO.

This argument about Athletic ability, residency, or legacy is "Apples and Oranges," John. These three are individual traits, not group preferences.

This "racial diversity" you like so much splits people up into ethnic tribes, who then compete with each other for preferences from the Government. It teaches students they should be valued for their skin color or surname, instead of for what they have accomplished.

The Michigan case will be overturned, of course. I hope it is done on a broad basis so that we can put his issue behind us.
