"Class warfare gang are losing it big time"??Wrong! They are winning it! Affirmative Action Upheld by Split Court, By ANNE GEARAN, Yahoo! (Associated Press), June 23, 2003 "In its most significant statement about race in a generation, a divided Supreme Court allowed the nation's colleges and universities to select students based in part on race, ruling Monday that diverse classrooms mold good citizens and strong leaders. The court emphasized that race cannot be the overriding factor, but a majority acknowledged a broad social value from affirmative action — in encouraging all races to learn and work together. 'In order to cultivate a set of leaders with legitimacy in the eyes of the citizenry, it is necessary that the path to leadership be visibly open to talented and qualified individuals of every race and ethnicity,' Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (news - web sites) wrote for the 5-4 majority. At issue was whether admissions policies that give one racial group an edge unconstitutionally discriminate against other groups. In two decisions involving the University of Michigan, the court underscored that racial quotas are unconstitutional but left room for the nation's public universities — and by extension other public and private institutions — to seek ways to take race into account ... Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer joined her endorsement of a program in place at the University of Michigan's law school. The law school uses an inexact admissions formula that gives extra consideration to blacks, Hispanics and to applicants from other groups the school says have historically suffered from discrimination. The program has produced minority enrollment of between 12 percent and 20 percent over the past decade. There is no fixed target, the school said." [Here we have the quintessential Jewish hypocrisy. Both Jewish Supreme Court Justices (Ginsburg and Breyer) voted in favor of Affirmative Action. If a genuine multi-ethnic, multicultural balance is what these people truly desire (and not merely personal AND Jewish collective influence), one -- or both -- of the Jewish justices should step down. 2 of the current 9 Supreme Court Justices are Jewish. That's 22%. Jews are 2.5% of the American population. These two Jewish justices are clearly hindering a fair balance of multicultural power with their OWN grasp on power. This is the Jewish paradigm. If then the disadvantaged are to be promoted by points for "race," then the EMPOWERED should logically be DISempowered on the same terms.]
