    Pack the court, prosecute political opponents while treating your own with kiddie gloves, delegate nearly all legislative authority to executive agencies...

    Looks an awful lot like reducing every federal institution to a weapon for your own side, and the day where this happens for both the Executive and the Judicial branches, and Congress is reduced to a vestigial organ, is the day that the US system is no better than any failed authoritative system in history. Seriously, might as well elect a king and scrap the Constitution, it'll have the same effect. Cat is already out of the bag, so this isn't new information here, just thought I'd point that out.

    Whenever you hear Democrats complaining about the Supreme Court, they're not complaining that the Supreme Court is partisan in their view, they're complaining that the Supreme Court is not partisan to their ends.

    Remember their last three picks: Sotomayor, Garland, and Jackson. They don't want a Supreme Court that is actually in the middle. They want to redefine the middle so that liberal is the middle.

    Your post consistently amaze me. You do realize that the purpose of affirmative action is to let someone who is less qualified on paper jump in front of someone who is more qualified, all in the name of Justice. Now you post your bitching on here about the end of affirmative action, while also posting affirmative action is a “white myth”. Is your beloved Joe Biden would say…… come on man!

    Your post is all talking points lol. Try saying something people haven’t posted 1000x before before you criticize talking points.

    Talking points? Are you kidding? Are you saying it is not factual that there are plenty of trades hiring right now where young adults don’t make 6 figures? Are you saying there is a likelihood of a positive ROI with a gender study degree? Your attitude is the problem. Sometimes is ok to just say “I agree”. But no, …..Orange man bad! Damn it!!

    I believe you’re a new poster so I’ll let you in on a little secret.
    The dude you’re quibbling with…
    A contrarian. He will never agree with anything. Not normal.

    Again, if you’re all about merit, don’t whine when your white kid can’t get in.

    Curious the result should athletes be included in these decisions. Many are borderline academically eligible to play sports in HS. Minimum gpa being 2.5 which wouldn’t be given a sniff at colleges like UF.

    What makes you think this ruling makes it more difficult for my kid to get accepted?

    Plus, Asians are just a stalking horse for them. They will be a target soon enough when they are no longer useful.

    Right? It’s such a weird comment from the libbies. Why can’t it just be that we’re happy that discrimination was ruled against.
    The country has changed and grown a lot since the days of AA.

    If Republicans start supporting policies that are discriminatory against Asian Americans then I’ll have the same opinion of them as I currently have of democrats.

    That’s you. But the party is a whole is based on the organizing principle of white supremacy.
