I see that the Supremes are at it again. It's not enough they can just flaunt their disregard for ethics and decency in our faces. They are now making laws that hurt disadvantaged and marginalized people. They are ignoring precedent, and they are forgetting their place as one of the three branches of government by overreaching to the executive branch.
I am not surprised that they gutted race based considerations for admissions to institutions of higher learning. This was their goal all along. It's stunning, though, that they said that this ruling does not apply to military institutions. It's as if they are cool with letting our children go in the bunkers but not in the boardrooms. The military institutions can let in all the black students that they want to, but not the prestigious state schools and Ivy League schools such as Harvaaad. That is reserved for the children of privilege (see white), and the well connected. The children of those who can afford to fly Supreme Court Justices on private jets and treat them to million dollar vacation packages.
I saw an Asian American mother on twitter telling her daughter that they finally made it. They finally struck down Affirmative Action and now it will be an even playing field for everyone. She actually wrote that everyone will now be judged on "merit". Poor thing. Maybe she is still too new to America to see that she is being used, and that she is totally misguided. But she will learn. She will see that the "pick me" immigrant and minority will never have a seat at the table, and they will never achieve the merit based result that they rightfully want. The game is rigged, and whether it's in college admissions or in the workplace, they will soon learn that Mr. Charlie always wins.
The small portion of seats that African American children take in these schools (5%) is not what is preventing the vast majority of Asian American children who are qualified to get rejected. They better turn their attention to the legacy admissions, and the money that the well connected pay to get their children a seat in the freshman class to see where the real problem lies.
It wasn't only race based admissions. The Supremes saw fit to tell a bigo..I mean a "Christian" who has a business that is open to the public, that it's cool to discriminate against LGBTQ people because of free speech. Think about that for a minute: What's to stop Bubba in Alabama from preventing black folks from stopping at his gas station to get gas? If we are not careful, history will repeat itself. I can see us going down that road (pun intended) again. Ask an old black person about the Green Book.
The right-wingnuts have a six to three majority on the court, and the tfg's appointees are all young. This out of control unchecked court will be doing damage for some time. Clarence (Clayton Bigsby) Thomas, the world's second back white supremacist, will be in Coon heaven for years to come.
Let this is be a reminder to all you folks out there who sit on the sidelines every election day instead of voting: Elections have consequences. You are seeing that play itself out in real time.
And today, they ignored the basic procedural rule on ripeness so they could issue another Christian Nationalist ruling.
ReplyDeleteJust shameful.
Mea culpa. On the previous blog post, I had commented on the 303 Creative case, in which the Supremes decided it was fine for a website designer to turn down business from gay people. I had misunderstood that the court had decided she could be homophobic so as not to violate her freedom of religion, but actually, it was supposedly about her freedom of speech.
ReplyDeleteEither way, it’s still a bonkers decision. Is it really the web designer’s speech when a gay couple hire her to write “We’re Getting Married!” on their website? It seems to me, the “speech” here should be considered to belong to the gay couple, and the website designer is doing something close to just transcribing their speech. The SCOTUS wingnuts have decided to pretend that being forced to design a website for a gay couple is equivalent to her being forced to endorse gay marriage, which is just bullshit.
This case was only marginally less dumb than that earlier case with the bakery that didn’t want to make a wedding cake for gay people, and back then, wingnut lunatics were making idiotic “cakes are speech!” arguments.

Thank you Field. You get it and stated it very well. All of those Asians who have been brainwashrd to believe that "those blackies" are taking their spots in universities will soon see that they have been bamboozled. Its a fact that academically capable Black students started being priced out of college admissions when a certain president signed legislation that reduced financial aid and relaxed affirmative action laws 20 years ago. However, the folks in power never imagined that while they were putting their energy into keeping black folks down that the asians started creeping up and outperforming white boys and girls academically. Its kind of hard to keep asians out of universities in favor of white kids when Asians r getting perfect scores on admission tests. And that bullshit personality test that some of the universities tried to unleash on asians to keep them out backfired when the asians launched a class action suit against the universities. The fact is, that "the dominant ones" r getting very angry and worried about Asians outperforming white kids and they hate and fear that their higher education systems are becoming less white and more asian....its about the opressor maintaining power and dominance over their racist institutions.
ReplyDeleteWill it work to switch to class-based affirmative action? Legacy admissions are a perverse form of that.
ReplyDeleteIt's really sad how the institutions that oppress blacks in Amerika think that blacks are
ReplyDeleteignorant. Think about it, now the powers that run Amerika are talking about allowing prisoners to get a free college education through financial aid. Now thats all well and good but as any black will tell you is that even after paying their debt to society by not only doing prison time but also earning a degree...very few companies will hire them once they discover they have been previously incarcerated. Unlike their white counterparts that have an easier time getting hired for a job and are easily forgiven after serving their prison time.
Where the hell is all of the assistance aid, and mentorship for black youth BEFORE black youth get into trouble with the law? Where were the responsible, caring people in their lives to guide educate and mentor them before incarceration,?
Racism abd the pipeline to prison for black youth is a carefully constructed system...designed to keep minorities down. It is a carefully constructed system that continues to flourish since its inception 400 years ago.
“Will it work to switch to class-based affirmative action? Legacy admissions are a perverse form of that.”
ReplyDeleteIf your goal is just to make colleges more ethnically diverse, then no, it won’t work the same.
Class-based affirmative action will mean significantly more poor WHITE kids will get to go to college, with some, but not as many, black/Latino kids as under race-based affirmative action.
If you really want to make admissions fair, then don’t discriminate against anyone. Instead:
1) Fix the crappy primary and secondary schools that too many poor kids, white or non-white, have to attend. This is the primary disadvantage they face in getting admitted to college. The education they get before applying to college is inferior to what middle-class and rich kids receive, and this puts them at a disadvantage when applying to college.
2) Take away rich people’s admission privileges. No more legacies. No more buying your kids into school with a hefty donation.
Affirmative action was always a sort of band-aid solution slapped on instead of fixing the fundamental unfairness of the US educational system.
To anyone naive enough to ask:
ReplyDeleteWhy do we need affirmative action? Scenario- Two college graduates, same age, same educational background same work experience, same grades and same personality apply for a job and come in for an interview.
One is black, and the other is white.
9 times out of 10. You know exactly who's going to get the job...the white applicant. Every white person knows that but not willing to admit it.
‘Dey mades dey own’ (Deserved) reputation! Who would you hire given the same qualifications??? Stop fooling yourselves…end this failed social experiment.
DeleteWe still need to level the educational playing field at an early stage for children in this country. I would be cool with getting more children of color in ANY college (not just the Ivy League and more prominent ones), but we know about all the factors (including poor family dynamics) which is making that a hard goal to achieve.
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started on the politicians gutting early education schools of the funding that they need.

ReplyDeleteGuilty as charged. Hang his natty ass!
ReplyDelete“When we take away from a man his traditional way of life, his customs, his religion, we had better make certain to replace it with
SOMETHING OF VALUE”
― Robert Ruark, Something of Value
Affirmative Action in its different iterations was never intended to level the playing field. As I have said before and until proven otherwise I still contend that the Eurapeon is an invasive species and as such acts to agitate, instigate, infiltrate, manipulate and annihilate those it deems "other."
You cannot legislate morality. And that in my opinion is what affirmative action tried to do.
“Oh don't worry about it, we'll give them two voting rights rulings that don't change anything and they'll let us advance our agenda."
ReplyDeleteI guess we can thank our lucky stars that they didn’t vote to further undermine democracy this term with those voting rights cases.
However, the ruling on discrimination against gays is particularly worrying. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of this nonsensical “freedom of speech” argument being employed to allow businesses to discriminate. Now that SCOTUS has validated it, it will be used again by various bigots, to remove rights from gays and other groups they don’t like.

The ruling didn't surprise me at all.
ReplyDelete“Elmo has lost his damn mind:
ReplyDeleteElon Musk Wants to Limit Voting to Parents”
It’s unclear whether he is just trolling here. Elon is an attention-seeking stunt queen who often says stuff he doesn’t mean. He is not your typical corporate CEO; most guys don’t reach the higher echelons of the business world while having the juvenile maturity level of a junior high-schooler.
On the other hand, Elon does genuinely have some of the worst political views, so maybe he really does beliebe this. He and his former buddy, the (in my view) even viler Peter Thiel have given Silicon Valley a bad name, promoting all sorts of unworkable libertarian garbage policies. Thiel is not as loud and public as Musk, but is heavily responsible for his protege JD Vance becoming a senator, and is also a big Trump fan.
Civil rights groups are filing a lawsuit against legacy admissions to universities, arguing they are unfair.
ReplyDeleteThey're not wrong, but I doubt this effort will be successful. Legacy admissions amount to class discrimination, not race discrimination. Giving admission points for being a legacy has the effect of raising the percentage of students at a university that are white, simply because a large percentage of rich people are white, due to the history of racism in this country. But ultimately, the discrimination itself is against people who are not rich, rather than people who are not white. Poor white applicants face the same harm as poor people of color. (And rich people of color can benefit from being legacies.)
Will the current conservative Supreme Court find that the 14th Amendment (or any other law) categorically forbids class discrimination? I kinda doubt it. To do so would undermine our entire capitalist economic system.
If we want this to ever happen, I suspect Democrats would have to win control of the federal government and pass legislation regulating universities.

“Just put on patches like race car drivers so we can see who really controls America. Thanks Citizens United.”
ReplyDeleteI don’t think you can blame Citizens United for this one. That case blew up campaign contribution limits. Because money equals 1st Amendment speech, according to Republicans. (There seems to be a pattern there. Refusing to serve gay customers at your business is now also apparently speech, because they say so. Any kind of bad behavior that they want to engage in equals speech, and therefore must not be restricted.)
However, campaign contributions limits are not relevant to Supreme Court justices. They don’t solicit campaign contributions, as they don’t campaign. The cash Thomas and Alito have been revealed to have received from billionaires is more aptly known as plain old “bribes.”
And the only thing that has really ever constrained Supreme Court justices from taking bribes is respect for democratic norms. There are no federal regulations that would stop them. However, the current crop of Republicans are shameless, so their general attitude is: “Ha! Norms, LOL!”

ReplyDeleteHere's a hilarious example of the Red State retards devouring themselves.
ReplyDeleteFlaming Trumptard supporter Ray Epps--who twice voted for Trump--is suing Fox News for Tucker Carlson's repeated allegations that Epps was secretly an undercover FBI agent who helped to incite the January 6th insurrection in order to make Trump "protestors" look bad.
As a result of Carlson's allegations, MAGAites have been bombarding Epps and his family with death threats and harassment--so much so that Epps had to hire private security and eventually move from his home with his wife giving up her dog breeding business.
If the Red Staters will devour one of their own like this, what will they do their political opponents?!

ReplyDeleteIn review, The Liberty Daily does not produce original content. Like the Drudge Report, they link to curated/aggregated news stories from other sources. The story selection always favors the right and most times denigrates the left. In order to review the bias and credibility of The Liberty Daily, we followed the links to see what sources they led to. We randomly chose 50 news stories and calculated the sources used. Out of 50 stories, all sources used were either rated Right Biased, Questionable, or Conspiracy-Pseudoscience. More than 50% of the sources used were either Questionable or Conspiracy sites. Some notable sources used are Breitbart (Questionable), DcDirtyLaundry (Questionable), Neon Nettle (Conspiracy), Big League Politics (Questionable), and Red State (Questionable).
So you can see what they pass on as news is garbage fom stART to finish.

The monster is openly campaigning on a platform of massively increasing presidential powers. Effectively the entire fleet of government and civil employees would be under his direct, dictatorial control.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump and his allies are planning a sweeping expansion of presidential power over the machinery of government if voters return him to the White House in 2025, reshaping the structure of the executive branch to concentrate far greater authority directly in his hands.
Their plans to centralize more power in the Oval Office stretch far beyond the former president’s recent remarks that he would order a criminal investigation into his political rival, President Joe Biden, signaling his intent to end the post-Watergate norm of Justice Department independence from White House political control.
Trump and his associates have a broader goal: to alter the balance of power by increasing the president’s authority over every part of the federal government that now operates, by either law or tradition, with any measure of independence from political interference by the White House, according to a review of his campaign policy proposals and interviews with people close to him.Trump intends to bring independent agencies — like the Federal Communications Commission, which makes and enforces rules for television and internet companies, and the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces various antitrust and other consumer protection rules against businesses — under direct presidential control.
He wants to revive the practice of “impounding” funds, refusing to spend money Congress has appropriated for programs a president doesn’t like — a tactic that lawmakers banned under President Richard Nixon.
He intends to strip employment protections from tens of thousands of career civil servants, making it easier to replace them if they are deemed obstacles to his agenda. And he plans to scour the intelligence agencies, the State Department and the defense bureaucracies to remove officials he has vilified as “the sick political class that hates our country.”
“The president’s plan should be to fundamentally reorient the federal government in a way that hasn’t been done since FDR’s New Deal,” said John McEntee, a former White House personnel chief who began Trump’s systematic attempt to sweep out officials deemed to be disloyal in 2020 and who is now involved in mapping out the new approach.
“Our current executive branch,” McEntee added, “was conceived of by liberals for the purpose of promulgating liberal policies. There is no way to make the existing structure function in a conservative manner. It’s not enough to get the personnel right. What’s necessary is a complete system overhaul.”

ReplyDeletePotentially major news. This could be the big one. Trump is suggesting that he’s about to be indicted for inciting the Jan 6th insurrection. These are the criminal charges that really could put Trump in prison, no probation.
ReplyDeleteSomething interesting fron US sordid past, a young Colin Powell was sent to onvestigate the massacre at My Lai and told superiors rumors of the severity were exgerrated.
ReplyDeleteSome have speculated that Jack Smith wants to get first shot at the J6 indictment, which only gives him a couple of weeks before Fani Willis has signaled that her charging decisions will be revealed. I don't think he will change his timeline to go first. I think he is doing the investigation the way it needs to be done in order to win a conviction and survive an appeal, and all speculation about it is just that.

In other defending-democracy news, Michigan's attorney general has announced criminal charges for election fraud-ing against 16 of Trump's fake electors, who were part of an attempt to snatch away Michigan's 2020 electoral votes from the rightful winner, Joe Biden.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is looking likely that New York state courts are going to overturn the Republican-ized electoral district map that led to several new NY state Republican representatives, who in turn accounted for most of the Republicans' new House majority in the 2022 election. So, as of 2025, Kevin McCarthy may lose his gavel and the Dems may be back in control of the House.
Did a New York Court Just Hand Democrats Control of Congress in 2024?
And so it begins (from NBC news):
ReplyDelete"Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Tuesday that she has filed charges against 16 people who signed paperwork falsely claiming that President Donald Trump had won the 2020 election as part of a scheme to overturn the results.
These are not misdemeanors. Each of the GOP defendants has been charged with several felonies, including conspiracy to commit forgery, forgery, conspiracy to commit election law forgery, and election law forgery."
This was always going to happen. These brain-wizards signed their names to forged election documents and sent them to the senate and the national archives.

They weren't, and now the bill is due.

ReplyDeleteIt is also the case that wingnuts have a fantasyland understanding of the Constitution. This boils down to: “I have a right to lie! FIRST AMENDMENT! FREEDOM OF SPEECH!”
This is not correct in a whole slew of contexts. Lying is often not protected, and sometimes illegal. The First Amendment is not an limitless license to cheat your way into power.
Wingnuts have been lying their asses off for decades, with the lies accelerating in frequency and brazenness, and things have finally reached the level where the lying is now criminal and they are shocked to find they are heading to jail.

Might as well get this out of the way. There is going to be a bunch of racist nonsense coming about Private Travis King, a black US soldier who was stationed in South Korea, where he committed an assault and was sent to jail for a couple months. After release, he was ordered to return to the US, where he would inevitably face a court martial and probable dishonorable discharge from the military.
ReplyDeleteInexplicably, bizarrely, instead of returning home, he ran across the border into North Korea and was taken prisoner, where he now faces long-term detention by the America-hating North Korean authorities, and possible torture and death. (If you do not believe this can happen, Google what happened to white college student Otto Warmbier in North Korea.) Witnesses said King was laughing as he ran across the border.
My guess is that there was some mental illness involved here, because this was such a WTF moment and King’s actions make absolutely no sense.

ReplyDelete“Vanishing act: DHS admits that 40% of catch-and-release migrants disappeared”
ReplyDeleteNo they didn’t. Reading past the headline, its own text says that 40% of migrants who were supposed to “check in” with ICE, didn’t. That’s not the same thing as failing to attend immigration court hearings, and a long way from “disappearing” if their deportation has been ordered.
Even if this statistic were true — and who knows if it is, since it comes from zero-credibility wingnut media — who gives a shit?

ReplyDeleteOn June 1, Senator Grassley, who has teamed up with House Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Comer, came under fire for admitting he does not care whether or not the accusations against President Biden are true or not, he wants to pursue them regardless. Eight weeks later to the day, on Thursday, Grassley published what is believed to be the debunked document.
Politico describes the form as “an uncorroborated FBI record that documents a conversation the bureau had with a confidential source who is at the center of a Biden bribery allegation.”
