Major Victory For Conservatives And America

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action programs at
the University of North Carolina and Harvard in a major victory for conservative
ending the systematic consideration of race in the admissions process.

The court ruled that both programs violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution
and are therefore unlawful. The vote was 6-3 in the UNC case and 6􀀂-2 in the Harvard case, in
which liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was recused. [b][i] That means she is unqualified to perform legal duties because of a potential conflict of interest or lack of impartiality.[/i][/b]

The decision was hailed by prominent conservatives, who say the Constitution should be
"colorblind," with former President Donald Trump calling the ruling "a great day for America."
The decision was condemned by liberals who argue that affirmative action is a key tool for
remedying historic race discrimination.

Justice Brown Jackson recused herself - just like an ethical judge is supposed to.

This unlike Thomas and Alito, who claim they have NO conflicts of interest...

The left would have crucified her had she voted with the majority.

@Budwick But she wouldn't have done. And, as she has principles, she did the correct thing and recused herself. With you, she can't win. Had she voted, people such as you would have accused her of partisanship. She didn't vote, so according to you she is "unqualified".

She disqualified herself during her initial appraisal.
