Fisher v. U. of Texas goes to SCOTUS

[Warph]

The battle over Affirmative Action is underway once again because a young woman, Abigail Fisher, is suing the University of Texas.  Apparently, in spite of her superior test scores, she was denied admission in order to accommodate black and Hispanic students.  The last time the Supreme Court was asked to rule on this matter, which was roughly a decade ago, they decided that race could continue to play a role in such decisions, but not an overriding role, and that at some later date, they might reconsider it.  It seems that day has finally arrived.

The good news is that Sandra Day O'Connor is gone, replaced by Samuel Alito, and Elena Kagan has decided to recuse herself because she was on record, as the U.S. solicitor general, as being in favor of Affirmative Action.

In 2007, the Court struck down similar programs in public high schools.  In their decision, the majority concluded with the line, "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."  One can hardly be more succinct or logical.

Once the Supremes take care of that piece of business, they will then be able to move on to the question of free in-state college tuitions for the children of illegal aliens.  Not only is it discriminatory, but it flies in the face of the law that states people are not allowed to profit from the commission of a crime.
