How can law enforcement find the Long Island serial killer but can’t find who leaked the Supreme Court’s opinion on abortion or who left the cocaine at the White House?
Remember when Sen Blackburn asked (now Justice) Kentanji Brown Jackson to define “woman” and the answer was “I am not a biologist”? Well a biology professor at a small school in Texas was fired for defining sex as determined by X, Y chromosomes. So apparently biologists don’t know the answer either.
Those pundits predicting that the Supreme Court’s decision on affirmative action would severely limit black enrollment at “elite” universities obviously must think that the administrators in the admissions offices are stupid. Harold Black’s First Law says “Any law worth circumventing will be.” If admissions’ officers can’t figure out a way around the Court’s ruling, then they should be fired.
One statistic cited by those favoring the Court’s decision on affirmative action is that when affirmative action was curtailed in California, that a higher percentage of minorities graduated from the “elite” California schools. Well if less qualified minorities are denied admission then obviously the percent of the total enrolled that graduate must increase.
What is remarkable about affirmative action is that every group polled favored its demise. Blacks, Asians, whites, Democrats and Republicans thought it unfair. Seems like the only supporters were the universities and their affirmative action officers.
I am an empiricist. I want to know what evidence exists to demonstrate the effectiveness of affirmative action. Much like the War on Poverty, the only beneficiaries appear to be those hired to administer the programs.
How can those crying racism explain the success of Asian Americans? Isn’t it interesting that rather than looking at the Asians as the model to follow to address inequities of racial minorities, white liberals instead are seeking to limit Asian success? Perhaps this is because the Asians show that the blacks and whites who profit from bemoaning inequities are purveyors of policies whose effects are to entrench minorities as a class dependent upon the state while enriching themselves.
Socialist ice cream mavens Ben and Jerry want the US to return “stolen” land to the Indians yet they have yet to give back their factory’s land which was apparently “stolen” from the Abenaki tribe.
Biden’s touching women and nibbling on young girls is starting to freak me out.
I was disappointed in Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissents in several Supreme Court decisions. They indicated either a fundamental error in her thinking regarding the Constitution and/or data from “experts.”
The dissents of the court’s liberals (Brown Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor) were social rather than legal arguments. Thus, even if they were true, the three still should have found the doctrine unconstitutional.
Isn’t it interesting how the media treated Brown Jackson? She was not the atypical rookie justice. In the past, new justices have been silent. Remember when Clarence Thomas was mocked for not speaking during his early years? Also Jackson wrote three solo dissents. It took Chief Justice Roberts 16 years before he wrote a solo dissent. The left media is trumpeting Brown Jackson’s dissents and outspokenness. Yet her dissents were so off target that even the other two liberals on the court would not join her.
The court’s other affirmative action justice – Sonia Sotomayor – continues to be an embarrassment. It now seems that Gorsuch has replaced Alito in ridiculing her statements and opinions. Justice Thomas is doing the same with Brown Jackson.
The Babylon Bee has taken to lampooning Sotomayor by saying that she “shows the world illiteracy doesn’t have to stop you from achieving your dreams.”
ESPN hates the Braves. Is it the name? Although they are the best team in baseball with the most exciting player, Sports Center buries their highlights behind even the WNBA, the woeful New York teams and other sports. So I watch the MLB Network instead.
If it weren’t for college football I would not watch ESPN.
I am the commencement speaker at my youngest granddaughter’s graduation from the University of Georgia. Any ideas as to what I should say other than “Go Dawgs”?
