It's most likely a wrap for Affirmative Action today

In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called the SCOTUS’ decision to end affirmative action a “Tragedy for us all”. This decision is not only on the Justices who made it but on all who couldn’t vote for Hillary, threw away their vote on a third-party candidate like Jill Stein and helped to siphon votes away from a real candidate, sat the 2016 election out or voted for 45. Hillary would have named 3 very different Justices to the SC. If this hurts your feelings, channel that anger into action and help dismantle the MAGA movement in 2024. We have the threat of fascism at our doorstep. Ending affirmative action is only a peek at what the MAGA Republicans intend to do. Wake up and wake others up. We are running out of chances to keep our country and rights safe. Vote. No excuses. No whining when it becomes too late. We, as a nation, and our basic rights are on the ballot.

Katanji should run for president.

Clarance has a lifetime non field job with a nice salary and a husky white woman. However bad that is, there are many negroes that envy him.

Bunch of coons on here wishing they were Clarence since they think like him anyway.

Biden should stack the courts which he can do but all we will hear from him and corporate Dems is we are outraged about this, the SC decision has set things back. Then they will do absolutely nothing. But come election time, we need to get out the black vote. :smh: :angry:

So, the Asians used that "Asian hate" myth to help get rid of AA. I remember back in the 80s & 90s they were taking spots away from white people due to AA. When the whites complained, they told the whites they shouldn't be mad at them, and they should work harder. Now, when they feel a spot was taken from them by black people...
Problem is Asians going to be good. Folks didn't see this shit coming 50-60 years ago. Well, I bet some did but were drowned out by the shills of their time.:smh:

Folks acting like colleges won't have work-arounds in place. They already ditching GPAs and tests. But the main problem remains: Asians blow the fucking curve and have been for quite some time. No matter how folks try to rig it, they come out on the back end.

Whites can't compete with Asians and then get mad because they losing on the lower end too with AA. It's basically a low-standard rat race for everyone outside Asians. The gloves are officially off.

Cacs out here are fleeing from the suburbs way out to the mountains and other states because their kids can’t compete with the mass influx of Asians in the burbs and their kids scores.

Younger people don't vote like older folks, the GOP older base is huge, the dems can't do much more if they stay in the middle, they don't want the radicals in the party, don't want the militants but it's hard to beat the GOP machine without some serious moves.

What Dems need to do is to correct the mistake they made in 2016. Instead of realizing you could have a liberal court, too many people weren't going to be "forced to vote for the lesser of two evils" while Republicans "held their noses and voted for Trump" because they valued the supreme court.

Thomas and Alito are 73 and 74. In 10 years, they'll be 83-84. That means really with 10 years, if you replace them with liberals you can undo everything this court has done.

And since this court basically said "fuck precedence" it's not even debatable.

Set a goal to re-take the courts over the next decade and this time stop listening to idiots online convincing you to sit things out.

The world is competitive. Step your game up. If you don't meet the admission standards then you just don't. If you're a good student you'll have plenty of options for college. You can't expect affirmative action to be in place forever. So most Black people won't be getting into Harvard? So fucking what. It's not the school that makes you. I went to a HBCU and there are lots of graduates that are just as successful and making just as much money as graduates of these white schools. This ain't hardly the end of the road for Black people going to college.

That's on Hilary and the Democratic party for not appealing to those voters and for rigging that race for Hilary so blatantly that those supporters got illusioned enough to not vote for her. They also should have used the Supreme Court seat as a rallying point but they didn't.
Besides you have to be a pretty bad candidate to lose to Trumpf anyway.
Elections have consequences. I hope any of those people mentioned aren't crying about abortion rights going away and now affirmative action.

The damage is done...being done as we speak. Every time SCOTUS does a decision they don't like they can remind themselves of how we got here.

I blame Biden and the Democrats for this. When they had the chance to "modify" the SC when they were in power, they did NOTHING. For the past fifty-plus years, Republicans have been playing the long game on eliminating Roe v Wade, Voting Rights, and now Affirmative Action, and that shit paid off. Hell, there was talk when Biden won about expanding the SC to blunt the conservative shift but as usual, the Dems refuse to put up a fight for it.

The problem with radical and milliant liberals is that they scare middle America voters and radical and milliant voters tend to be one track voters and won't vote unless they get their one agenda passed.

Since there are so many different and competing agendas it's going to be hard for any party to rely on them to win elections and stay in office.

Lastly the older I get, the more I realize that groups become very conservative once they do get theirs. We seen it today with multiple coon repugs celebrating today's ruling and knowing they personally benefited from AA in the past. You see it with Hispanic groups that are more anti-immigration than the white folks they vote in office.

Or you know, people could have voted for Hilliary and the court would have at least expanded by 3 liberals. Regardless of people's thoughts about Hilliary, Hillary wasn't going to stack the court with the types of judges we have now.

Expanding the court is a pipe dream because every new administration will stack in their favor and override the previous administration's gains. Where do you start? Where do you stop?

It's same flawed logic of people thinking Executive actions will solve all problems and can't be overturned by a new administration.

The only way to expand the sc is when you have control of all three branches of government so the chance of increasing the court justices is low. As a matter of fact, Republican has not won the popular vote during a prez election in the past three cycles and the only way the Republicans are winning the House and Senate is thru gerrymandering. I agree with you, Hillary sc justice picks "probably" would have put the brakes on the replubs bs and struck down the only tool the replubs have left to win elections.

Uh wait 10 years? Lol And for the record I'm not one who doesn't believe in not voting at all. I believe everyone should vote even if you vote for a 3rd party candidate or a write-in. Dems should also be willing to vote for someone who they may not want to as Republicans do. Hell I voted for Hilary because I knew she wouldn't put right wing judges on the high court like Trump. The fact is we wouldn't have to wait 10 years if Biden would just stack the courts.

That's above my pay grade. Maybe he'd fail in doing it but at least try. Where's the fight when it comes to doing things for black folks. Same goes with the voting rights act, nothing has been done. Come election time when our vote is needed, you and I both know how hard they will ask us to vote. I just want to see a little more fight for our people.

More younger people did vote in the last midterms, I mean more could get out and vote but that also could be said about the whole country. Half the people in this country don't even vote. :smh:

Let me help you out. To increase the number of Justices on the court, the Republican led House of Representatives would have to pass a bill to do so, and 60 Senators would have to agree to it, then Biden could sign it.

Biden, himself, has ZERO ability to change the number of seats on the courts.

When did the Democrats have 60 votes to change the number of seats on the court or 51 votes to appeal the filibuster?

If Hillary was as Republican as cats try to make her out to be, Republicans wouldn't have spent 30 years trying to destroy her.

But couldn't he have tried to stack the courts before the midterms when the dems had the house? They still would have needed the 60 votes in the Senate though because Manchin and Sinema wouldn't vote to get rid of the filibuster. He still should try, do something! It's politics, you never know what can happen but to not make an effort at all is just inexcusable in my opinion.

A lot of dumb folks don't understand how hated the Clintons are among Repubs.

The Clintons were to conservatives, what Trump is to libreals.

Also, folks saying the Dems did nothing. They actually TRIED to end the filibuster, knowing it would fail, but just to show everyone they were trying so that people would just not pay attention and say "Dems don't try nothing..."


Senate Republicans blocked Democrats from moving forward on voting rights legislation, and Democrats failed to get 50 votes to change the Senate rules to move forward with the legislation with a simple majority.

The dramatic night started with the Senate first voting on whether to end debate on the voting rights legislation, a move that failed to get the 60 votes needed to move the bill forward. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer then brought up a vote on a rules change to move the legislation forward with a one-time exemption, which was fiercely opposed by Republicans and two members of his own party, Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.

Democrats' frustration with Manchin and Sinema was apparent, with Senator Bernie Sanders saying after the vote that Manchin and Sinema have "forced us to go through five months of discussions which have gotten absolutely nowhere."
