The SCOTUS decision regarding MI affirmative action.

This is really really bad news.

It's an MRA wet dream.

That a woman is responsible for this agitation leaves me dumbfounded.

It is mainly women who benefited from this protection.

Libertarian shit stains, and men wanting to revert back to the good old days and white people (men and woman) feeling it is they who are discriminated against, don't have a clue as to what real life discrimination feels or looks like.

This woman has done more harm to women than Phyllis Schlafly could have dreamt of.

No one was more thrilled with Tuesday’s Supreme Court decision to uphold Michigan’s affirmative action ban than Jennifer Gratz.

Her name wasn’t on the Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action case — but it may as well have been. It was Gratz’s rejection from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1995 that set the court’s decision in motion.

Gratz is the woman who inspired two separate cases before the Supreme Court on affirmative action in higher education, ending with the justices’ 6-2 ruling Tuesday that upheld a constitutional amendment in Michigan that voters approved in 2006. It bans preferential treatment based on race, gender, ethnicity or national origin.

This ruling basically leaves those who have been discriminated against with no recourse. The court has shut its doors to this issue. The court will no longer protect the minority from the majority. Seems like the only recourse left is to amend the constitution.

Time long since past, to get the ERA ratified. This ruling could help to re-ignite those passions. Race and sexual preference ought to be added to it, to make it absolutely clear the intent of the proposed amendment. If it's not obvious to all now, laws can be changed, or made to be null in many different ways. It's time to clear this shit up once and for all.
