Chief Justice John Roberts delivered a scathing response to the liberal justices in Thursday’s Affirmative Action decision, accusing them of burying a power grab in the dissents penned by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, with Justice Elena Kagan concurring.
Roberts addressed the dissent on page 46 of his opinion, saying that the Justices had divorced the case from the context in a concerted effort to make the Court the arbiter of which race[s] were entitled to preferential treatment.

The Left needs Affirmative Action to satisfy their supporters. Without AA, their minorities can't share in the left's largess. No surprises here as this has been going on for many decades, beginning with the NOW gang. Betty Frieden is her name, the founder.

AA has been in place for decades. Nothing ha changed. It is a failed program.

What Roberts said was standard conservative judicial belief: that lib judges demolish the Cotus, pick winners and losers and create a caste society.
Those words apply to literally every activist argument the liberal judges make. What tookim so long?

I am VERY surprised that Chief Justice 'Get Along' Roberts was so vigorous in his response to the Lib Trio. He most always tries to coddle them as with last year's abortion decision.

AA is inherently evil, pitting the races against each other and elevating the incompetent while dumbing down the IQ of the rest of the culture with lowered standards. Notice that three women tried tossing a monkey wrench into this decision.

The Chief Justice redeems himself with his stinging response to the 3 dissenters. Now, Mr. Chief Justice, tell the public who leaked prematurely the Roe decision, and clean house at the Supreme Court. Cast out the evil-doers.

1. What does the Constitution say?
2. That’s the law

Democrat women are unfit to serve in any position of authority. Name one progressive woman who can run anything successfully. They are incapable of doing that because feelings are the motivator of their decision making skills, not logic, facts, data, critical thinking, or common sense. It’s all about how they feel. Sometimes I wonder why women were given the right to vote and I say this as a female myself. I am appalled everyday by the women on the left. They are one tantrum away from the looney bin.

So, are we supposed to be a socially "color blind" society, or to remain a continuously color conscious one? Sounds like the Supreme Court at least got this one right.
However, I fully expect leftist enclaves of higher education and the States that house them to simply refuse to comply with the ruling.

The three liberal justices all come from privileged backgrounds: especially KBJ whose mother and/or father were/are attorneys. Sotomayor may have the closest to a more working class background but still....

AA in place for years and people have gotten lazy.
Why work hard in elementary, middle and high school?
It looks like even the teachers in black communities don't even care.
An academically equal Asian and black- the Asian has a 40% chance to get admitted and the black 100%.
Just get your spot in a university, "graduate" with a "degree" and collect reparations.

The SCOTUS is not there to fix outcomes that suit any ideology. In fact does not even exist to administer Justice. Its avowed role (is) to interpret the law - fairly, accurately and evenly. Bringing about justice is up to the People through their legislative representatives. Maybe naive in today’s cynical world. But still the bedrock principle of our Republic.

Gee, Chief Just-Us Roberts, head of the other 8 Court Jesters. That exact same opinion could have been used with minimal word changing to dissent on Obambicare (commerce and income being taxed for not buying a dang thing), legislations in charge of setting up laws for elections, and half a dozen other cases Chief Just-Us Roberts voted with the liberal Court Jesters.

Democrats see the Supreme Court not as a judicial body but as a Super Legislature with the powers to over-rule the laws made by the Senate/House, and ultimately to re-interpret whatever the Constitution says to mean whatever the Party wants it to mean. The three Twisted Sisters on the court rule exactly the same as the Party line on all key issues. They're like the witches chanting "Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble" on every key case (abortion, race, etc.). What a farce.

As in every walk of life these days, ‘the left’ are the most demanding, autocratic, racially motivated, aggressive, intimidating, bullying bunch on the planet. They have decided ‘they’ are superior and the rest of us had better submit to their demands - or else! For the most part, ‘we’ are busy working, paying taxes, following the rules and obeying the laws. Our opinions of them are just as strong, but most don’t have the time or inclination to loot, burn, scream and destroy. But……we are seething……as we go about our daily lives.

Memphis city schools motto is "every student college bound" despite being unable to graduate students at a 3rd grade reading level. Affirmative action is the only way that goal would have been achieved.

Come on folks. SCOTUS came up with a proper interpretation of the law. There must have been a lot of CRT, BLM and AA hurled by the 3 liberal women, and it set Roberts' hair on fire.
I'll take it.
Now, where do I go for 45 years worth of reparations?

In short, Robert's message is: "Take your equity and shove it."

The liberal justices are in the tank for the rats...and now...WE know why the fake media has been attacking Justice Thomas...they were hoping to intimidate him into ruling against the constitution...and in favor of the rat's coddling of their voting base...thank God President Trump appointed three conservative/constitutionalists justices....

FTA: The principal dissent wrenches our case law from its context, going to lengths to ignore the parts of that law it does not like.
Welcome to the party, Justice Roberts.
The 1619 project proponents do the same thing with history, ignoring what doesn't fit the narrative, then fabricating an entire fake history out of whole cloth. Now, with a fellow traveling Black racist on the court, we see the same thing playing out there that the rest of us have had to deal with in our churches, school boards, city councils, and state legislators. Welcome to the party, Mr. Chief Justice

#7 We know because Alito told us. It was Sotomayor. If you're expecting Roberts to do something about it, sorry, he won't.

All I can say is: "Thank you ... thank you ... Donald J.Trump!"
Without you, sir, as our once great & hopefully future POTUS, none of this --- undoing the murderous Roe v. Wade, canceling of the racist Affirmative Action policy and now undoing the inherently unfair and evil Student Loan Forgiveness policy --- none of this would be a reality.
For the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Where was this reasoning and support when Obama was wrecking the U.S. medical system with Obamacare. Remember, Roberts turned a penalty into a tax with his magical thinking. While I agree with his remarks, Roberts is still unworthy of the robes of Chief Justice.

AA no doubt brought us a plethora of incompetent radical attorneys that plot daily to destroy multiple cities. St Louis, chicago, new york among many others. Without AA, I suspect most of these supposed lawyers would be selling cars in the ghetto. Mooch, we're looking at you.

Yes, thank you President Trump. This will give you nightmares. What if Hillary had won like she expected to? Think about her choices for three SC Justices. What a bullet we dodged!
