The decision of the Supreme Court to end the use of race in college admissions was not unexpected. Indeed, the rulings in cases involving Harvard and the University of North Carolina ended decades of muddled 5-4 decisions. Yet, President Joe Biden seemed to go into full attack mode and actually claimed that the Court gutted the constitutional guarantee that “all men and women are created equal.” In declaring that this Court was not “normal,” Biden further insisted that these admissions decisions and the Dobbs abortion decision reversed the gains that “we fought a war over in 1860” to secure.
In an interview on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” President Biden accused the Court of ignoring what “the Constitution says: We hold these truths to be self-evident, all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator.” That is actually a reference to the Declaration of Independence, but it was the substance of the point that was so baffling.
In barring the use of race in admissions, the Court believed that it was protecting that very guarantee. It erased what the Court viewed as a glaring anomaly in its cases in the treatment of racial discrimination in education as opposed to employment. It was the capstone opinion for Chief Justice John Roberts who in 2017 declared: “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” In 2006, Roberts added: “It is a sordid business, this divvying us up by race.”
The Court was enforcing what it saw as the “self-evident” guarantee referenced in the Declaration and later protected in the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court reaffirmed that all men and women are created equal and will be treated equally in both education and employment.
The President is not alone in such hyperbole. Figures like Whoopi Goldberg actually asked whether the decision means that we are “heading to no women in colleges soon? Who knows.”
We actually do know. An opinion rejecting the use of racial classification to determine who goes to college could not be read by anyone as endorsing the exclusion of other groups.
The truly baffling statement was Biden’s claims over the Civil War. By leaving questions like abortion to the states, Biden claims that the Court was reversing what was gained in that war. The criticism came in response to an opinion insisting that there is no place for racial discrimination in higher education. That would hardly seem an argument that would be embraced by the Confederacy.
President Biden has long taken liberties with our constitutional history. Many of us have repeatedly objected to claims that he has made in areas like the Second Amendment. One of his most repeated lines is that the Second Amendment was passed with the understanding that certain guns would be banned and adding “You couldn’t buy a cannon, when in fact the Second Amendment passed.”
That happens to be utterly false. Yet, even after the Washington Post declared Biden’s understanding of the Second Amendment to be false, he has continued to make the same false assertion over and over again.
Now Biden has moved on to the Civil War and his revisionism is about as subtle as Sherman’s scorched “March to the Sea.”
The Civil War did not end federalism or states rights. It denied the right of the states to secede and ultimately fulfilled the pledge to equality first made in the Declaration of Independence.
One can have good-faith disagreements on whether the use of racial criteria is constitutional affirmative action or unconstitutional racial discrimination. However, Biden is belittling our prior struggles for equality with these sweeping and erroneous claims.
In his interview, the President also insisted that one has to “look at how it’s ruled on a number of issues that are — have been precedent for 50, 60 years sometimes, and that’s what I meant by not normal.”
In reality, the Court’s decisions on affirmative action in education have been muddled and conflicted for decades. In 1977, in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, the Court barred affirmative action in higher education. However, it allowed some consideration of race as part of a holistic admissions process.
In the decades that followed, the Court remained sharply divided. By 2003, the Court was ready to issue the very decision that it issued this week. However, in Grutter v. Bollinger, then-Justice Sandra Day O’Connor supplied the fifth vote to uphold the use of race by the University of Michigan. Yet, O’Connor wrote that the court “expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today.” That was roughly 20 years ago.
It is also ironic to hear the President bewailing the reversal of precedent since the greatest advance in racial equality was the reversal of Plessy v. Ferguson and the doctrine of “separate but equal.” That was the governing precedent from 1894 to 1954, but few denounced the Supreme Court for reversing the precedent in Brown v. Board of Education. It was a decision to eliminate different treatment on the basis for race.
This Court did indeed overturn long-standing cases but these have long been areas characterized by closely and fiercely divided 5-4 and plurality decisions.
The President also asserted that “the vast majority of the American people don’t agree with a lot of the decisions this court is making.” The majority clearly opposed the Dobbs ruling, but that is not the case on the affirmative action ruling. Polls have consistently shown (including this week) that the majority of the public does not support the use of race in college admissions. Indeed, even in the most liberal states like California, voters have repeatedly rejected affirmative action in admissions.
We should have a robust and passionate debate over these issues. Yet, a president should be seeking to facilitate that dialogue rather than distorting and weaponizing our shared history. It is a continuation of his prior declarations that members of Congress opposing his election reforms to block state laws are voting with “Jefferson Davis” and the Confederacy. Despite the laws in states like Georgia being upheld as constitutional, Biden declared them a return to the “Jim Crow” South based on distorted accounts of those laws. The claim was again historically and legally ridiculous even if one opposed these state laws.
We should not allow the President’s constitutional and historical distortions to become, to use his description of the Court, “normal.” We have fought hard to address the scourge of slavery and racism in our country. That struggle is continuing but we cannot address those problems in the future by distorting our past.
This is a corrected version. A short version appears on Fox.com.
You have a point – but it goes far beyond Biden.
Pres. Biden is at best a poor spokes person for the nonsense and lies of the modern progressive left.
Biden is far from the only left wing nut that blatantly lies if they speak.
The important quesiton is why do any of the rest of us listen to people who lie whenever they speak about anything.
The president – and many here and in the media are touting Bidenomics.
In what world do we pat ourselves on the back for economic destruction ?
At this moment in time we are seeing multiple examples accross the entirety of human endeavor demonstrating the failure of popular ideas of the left.
There is a legitimate reason to be concerned regarding the federal student loan program – it has made colleges bloated and richer and saddled graduates with heavy debt burdens. All to deliver declining education quality. Something does need to be done. But that is not to make the problem even worse.
End government subsidized Student Loans – They clearly do not work.
We saw much the same with Covid – We can fight over details but the FACT remains – Government did not keep us safe and ultimatley did much more harm than good. We can and should debate the merits of specific policies – but it is inarguable that the overall effect of government intervention in the epidemic was More deaths and greater economic and other harms.
Those of us old enough to remember learned or should have learned the FACT that government control fo the economy FAILS – often bloodily from the disaster that was 20th century communism. Yet here we are today with the left shilling for permutations o the same nonsense that has failed forever.
More recently we spent $6T on economic stimulus – with disasterous results. MMT should be permanently put onto the dustbin of history.
But so should Keynesian and neo-keysnian economics.
We get ever increasingly large scale evidence that the various thesis of the left – even the less extreme parts of the left FAIL.
And yet the nonsense refuses to die.
Why should it surprise you that Biden is spewing utter nonsense ? Even you still hold onto several repeatedly disproven sacred cows of leftist orthodoxy.
We must learn from our actual experience what works and what does not. We have ample opportunity to do so.
I have cited only a few examples of clearly failed ideas. We must open our eyes to those failures and quit trusting those who have been repeatedly wrong.
We have reached a point where those on the left and those on the right are constantly talking of jailing or even hanging those we disagree with – those who have lied to us. While there are a few instances where people have committed real and clear crimes and should be prosecuted, the punishment for those Like Fauxi who imposed bad advice on us often by force is that no one should ever believe them again.
The lynchpin of a free society is trust. Billions have been made int he free market figuring out how to conduct trustworthy free exchange between two people who never met and do not know each other.
The most important currency in the world is trust. And so often the left is litterally trying to destroy that.
If you loan money to those you do not expect to pay you back – that is not a loan – it is a gift.
The most critical factor in success is trust. Trust is earned – by doing what we say we will. By paying our debts, by keeping our promises, by speaking truth. and by being right when we provide advice.
Some of us create prosperity for the rest of us by earning our trust and delivering massively to our benefit.
But ALL of us are a part of that process – because we all have a role in deciding who we trust.
When you vote for people who lie constantly. who do not deliver on their promises and who when they actually do cause disaster. You harm yourself and everyone else.
Biden is NOT the problem.
There are always charlatans selling the brooklyn bridge.
The problem is that so many Believe they are buying the brooklyn bridge from people who have lied over and over to all of our harm and without consequence.
The left is the emporer from the emporers new cloths and the rest of us are the fawning psychophants unable to admit what is plain as day – this nonsense does not work, and those shilling it are unworthy of our trust – and never should have had it in the first place.
How can men and women be created equal if gender is a social construct, and there are no men and women?
If women are “birthing people”, “lactating people”, and “menstruating people”, then, to be fair, males should be referred to as “sperm producing people”. They really do need to update birth certificates.
Then maybe the male gender will be “people assigned sperm producing people at birth”.
Biden is not suffering from cognitive decline. It’s just that, because he is in the public spotlight to a greater extent than at any time in his life, the public can now see him for the mean-spirited idiot he has always been.
Except through our own empiricism, (“Be empirical, LOOK!”) we can’t answer the question of whether Biden suffers from cognitive decline. Yet, I and a few billion other people must believe our lying eyes which say: 1) he is neurologically impaired, with commonly displayed verbal, mental, emotional and physical symptoms of dementia and alzheimers and 2) that neurological impairment aside, Biden is a very low IQ person, probably stupid, but no more so today than ever before. I.e., He’s very dumb (say IQ circa 85-95) but he’s not getting dumber. He’s as dumb as he gets and as dumb as he always was. He was this dumb when he first went into politics 50 yeras ago and Delaware voters liked what they saw and elected him, again and again and again. He was this dumb when he ran for President, every time he ran. He was this dumb in 2020 when voters selected him to be America’s President over a notably intelligent, mentally impressive competitor. Biden was this dumb for the first years of the Biden Administration when he did nothing right and said most things wrong. But even assuming Biden has an IQ of 95 (stretching it,) per psychologist Jordan Peterson, such a low IQ person is unable to function in today’s world and unable to work at a job level other than fast food.
That state of Biden’s mental disunion is a national existential concern of world crisis proportions. The mentally deficient, feckless moron Joe Biden could destroy planet earth and not even know what he’s doing. Every Republican should be harping about that every day, and every media platform should be harping on it every day, and every Democrat should be ashamed of that all day every day forever until Biden is driven from office.
Mrs. Biden and his brother and children, for the love of God, country, family and Joe, should pull Joe off the stage NOW.
I was wrong in saying that Joe is not suffering from mental decline. He clearly is. It is important to note, however, that the decisions of a mean-spirited, mentally deficient, radical leftist, however, are no different those of a kindhearted, mentally sharp, radical leftist. Radical leftist decision making is a function of ideology, not thoughtful analysis. If Joe could somehow be given a kind nature and a high-IQ, his decisions would be no different.
Good point.
It is certainly psychologically interesting to know if mental impairment or low IQ is causally related to (or at least directly correlated with) anti-social behavior. (An exasperated Justice Holmes seemed to think so in Buck vs Bell: “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”) Also, low IQ criminals may be so dumb and have such an impaired capacity to differentiate right from wrong that they do not appreciate the evil they commit. For the practical purposes of morality in governance and law and order in society, it would seem that intelligent criminals are more skilled than low IQ Biden-types at carrying out crimes requiring brains (and all crime requires brains) and evading law enforcement and escaping punishment. But, again, is immoral/criminal behavior directly correlated with intelligence? In Biden’s case, probably not. (Yet, he evokes a cunning that smacks of high intelligence at least in evading accountability.) IQ and mental proficiency surely correlate directly with wealth, power and status, so that smarter crooks have more wealth, are more politically connected and, as Biden has done, use their influence a) to “fix” the system politically (as low IQ Biden does better than anyone else) and b) to hire the best, most expensive investigators and defense counsel (Biden has the DOJ/FBI,) thus minimizing their risk of punishment.
Remember though, Joe says that Hunter is the ‘smartest guy he knows.’
So a debauched crackhead, sex addict, alcoholic, lying scumbag lowlife son is the brains of the operation?
His family, whose skills and intellect would, at best, merit low-level positions in large entities where their failures would have little or no impact on “the bottom line” have no meaningful income without Joe in a position to collect graft. They will NEVER allow him to retire
Never forget Biden is just a puppet reading what is written for him by the radical activists running his admin.
This is what Obama wanted to say when he was president and now feels confident in making his puppet say the words.
The only thing thing that is keeping Biden in office is Kamala Harris. She would be unimaginably worse. And there really is no one else that I can see in the current Democrat mob and do NOT say Gavin Newsom … He would be worse than Harris by a factor of 10.
RFK Jr.
RFK, Jr is self admittedly pro abortion, pro ESG, and a progressive ie. staunch Dem. Am same age as Bobby & from MA. Kennedy’s were all well known for being drunken philanderers. Some even heroin users. Old Joe, the rum running, cheat on your wife patriarch lead by example.
I will never forget Mary Jo Kopechne nor Ted and another Joe eviserating Clarence Thomas.
I don’t care how much he helped to expose the Covid lies and fraud. I already knew long before his book. We need true leadership not more of the same lies.
Sign me
Never a Kennedy
or for that matter
Never Pence, Haley, anyone with backing by Soros, or thw WEF. DC is not a swamp. Ot’s a CESSPOOL.
Right on!
Good guy who did one thing right, FINALLY, and wants to skate on golden pond for his reward.
But his ancestry and genetics are intrinsically poor, as is most of his non-China Virus politics.
Jack and Bobby Sr. showed early signs of the Obama/ Biden touch: They screwed up most of what they touched. But back in the day they got a pass for everything they did wrong because they were cocktail circuit pals of the owner and edotor of the Washington Post and they had their own biographers to rerwite the history of Camelot at 1600, in-house hacks like Schlesinger and Sorenson.
And Bobby J’s dear, depraved Grandfather Joe and Uncle Ted had to die to do something right.
Bobby J’s friends in the Party are even worse (even some of his NEW BEST FRIENDS from the right, the Never Trumpers.)
He’s a DemocRat! He’s a fourth generation Boston DemocRat.
How low can you go?
He accepts his Party’s sordid history, brags about it, and embraces most of its destructive, foolish, utopian political agenda in 2023.
That’s all you know and ever need know.
Bobby’s better than Biden, for sure.
But then who’s not?
Trump is grasping now, and some say he’ll reach for the Kennedy gold ring, except it’s brass and tarnished moldy green.
Who needs it?
Bobby Jr would be good as a Trump cabinet pick to go in and clean house at NIH, etc.
“She would be unimaginably worse.” Perhaps, but the situation now given the global risks is simply untenable makes the USA look to the world as pathetic and weak. That’s dangerous.
Kamala in the White House would be unelectable. The only thing that is a real risk is who she would appoint as her VP. It might seal her fate. Hillary? Mrs. Obama? We are entering the Farcical Zone bordering on tragedy.
With Biden sometimes it requires discernment which part is peaking: 1. The touched 2. The out of touch.
Biden is, and always has been, a dunce who is now fronting a political party that has become an ongoing criminal conspiacy. It is important that this continue to be noteworthy, but it really is “dog bites man.”
Pretty sure the Civil War had nothing to do with either college admissions or abortion.
What goes on in the psychology of an AA activist who holds such an obvious contradiction:
I want a color blind society.
I promote color conscious policies.
They no longer claim to want a colorblind society. They’re now back to wanting a segregated society where minorities have special privileges. That has become clear in the many calls for segregated campus housing, amenities, and graduation ceremonies.
If men are equal to women, then why can’t I give birth to a baby through my Johnson
If your lawyer is telling you that’s a legal problem I’d be looking for a new lawyer if I was you.
“Whoopi Goldberg actually asked whether the decision means that we are ‘heading to no women in colleges soon? Who knows.’”
I’m sure women will be happy to know that they cannot succeed on their own.
Whoppi isn’t a wymen, she is some sort of alien. As such she has no understanding of humans.
From slavery to Jim Crow to affirmative action, the Democratic Party has always supported racist government policies,

Statement from Gary Shapley’s Legal Team on Biden Lawyer’s Letter to Congress Attacking a Whistleblower
Press Release
June 30, 2023
WASHINGTON — The following was issued today from the legal team of IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley in reaction to the letter from Hunter Biden’s attorney to the House Ways and Means Committee:
“Biden family lawyers have resorted to intimidation before—reportedly threatening federal prosecutors with “career suicide” if they charged Hunter Biden—so this attempt to intimidate our client and the oversight authorities scrutinizing the politicization of that case is no surprise…
This is all new and very deep White House criminal territory.
It’s Chicago racketeering and Al Capone stuff, Valentine’s Day and Corleone material, with Biden as consciliere and Hunter his Drug smuggling and Numbers racket bag man. Is Garland the Biden Crime Family’s Luca Brasi?
Nobody screws with the Bidens!
Except that isn’t exactly the word corrupt Joe used….
@andrewklavan
So if I understand the Democrats position correctly: you should be judged by the color of your skin, the state should be able to force you to express opinions you oppose and your debts should be paid by other people. But Trump’s the bad guy? Confusing.
Confusing, very, but only for the logically straightforward!
Maybe there’s enough smoke and mirrors and muddle of the rational mind for you to write a political mystery novel. There’s lots of crime for a good detective story.
What would Charlie Chan say about this case? “Ah! Plesident and Number Two Son velly sneaky. Something fishy and smelly go on.
We will all goose step in the same direction, or else.

“Fact Check: 💯 True.
Trump’s flawless Gorsuch nomination and confirmation united weak and wobbly Senate Republicans to run over the Democrats’ filibuster and lower the vote threshold from 60 to 51.
This comforted Kennedy enough to retire, so Trump could replace Kennedy with his protege—and still keep weak and wobbly Senate Republicans onboard.
(There’s no chance another Alito or Thomas could have been confirmed in 2018, with Collins, Murkowski, Flake, and others being so weak and wobbly.)
If Kavanaugh’s nomination failed, Republicans would’ve lost the Senate in 2018 and the Court after 2020.
Trump never blinked, even when almost every Senate Republican did.
Instead, we pulled the rabbit out of the hat.
And knocked out 4 Senate Democrat incumbents and picked up 2 seats (when Republicans lost the House).
This paved the way for Trump’s replacement of Ginsburg with Barrett.
First constitutionalist Supreme Court majority in 90 years.
I can think of no other Republican—besides Trump—who had the political skills, force of personality, and backbone to pull this off.
When anyone claims any other Republican president could do this or do this better, they clearly do not understand how the process actually works. And they would have clearly failed.
(I’ve worked on judicial nominations in the White House, Justice Department, Senate, and

Trump’s transformation of the federal judiciary was his most consequential accomplishment of his first term.”
God bless Donald Trump for appointing three members to the Supreme Court who believe in following the Constitution and federal statutes that are consistent with the Constitution.
Trump’s appointees have overturned Roe v Wade, repealed environmental rules invented by the EPA, prohibited race-based college admissions, recognized that the president may not force taxpayers to pay off the college loans of their fellow Americans, and recognized the right of business owners, for religious reasons, to refuse to design same-sex wedding registries.
“Trump’s appointees have overturned Roe v Wade, repealed environmental rules invented by the EPA, prohibited race-based college admissions, recognized that the president may not force taxpayers to pay off the college loans of their fellow Americans, and recognized the right of business owners, for religious reasons, to refuse to design same-sex wedding registries.”
It’s a little subtler than that but you are on the right track. Yes, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and especially Barrett (because she replaced Ginsburg) are important but Alioto remains the intellectual linchpin with a backbone. Roberts is a weak kneed swamp dweller and Kavanaugh looks to be cut from the same cloth (will especially lose his spine completely when the Dems – inevitably – get a fourth Justice).
Casy overturned Roe in 1991 or 1992; last year the current six overturned Casey, which was more important because everyone including Ginsburg agreed Roe was just nonsense. I think it was Bakke that actually prohibited race based admissions but then in another case the spineless cowards that proceeded the current crop gave colleges 25 years to end it. The colleges admitted this year that they have no intention of doing that ever so the Court confirmed Bakke once and for all.
And the Colorado case had nothing to do with religion or gays or weddings; Sotomayor claimed that the GOP could force Rob Reiner to make ads next year in favor of Ron DeSantis in his presidential run against Gavin Newsome. That of course would be ridiculous and this Court put an end to such nonsense in all walks of life… the two preceding GOP courts would never have even taken the case.
Now next step: get some cojones, stop this “we’re above the fray” stuff and fight back against Biden and Whitehouse in public speeches and op eds and Twitter for that matter. Every issue has been primarily (Colorado, AA were exceptions) about Executive fiats from presidents of both parties running roughshod over Congressional inaction by both parties. Call them all out on it.
These new rulings by the SC are the result of one term of Donald Trump. Wonder what another four years of him would produce.
Not worth thinking about. Never going to happen. Guy can’t get above 40%.
Imagine if guys like Trump, and others, in the face of insurmountable odds just said ‘forget it, why even bother trying?’
At the very least Trump is to be admired for not quitting in the face of so much corruption.
Trump is to be admired for seeing what he is up against and believing it is possible to ‘win’ at the rigged game.
And yes, the game is rigged.
He beat Hillary. That was some kind of miracle for sure.
Then the left and the establishment said ‘Never again’ will we allow THAT to happen.
Mail in Ballots, ballots, and more ballots, mailed out everywhere!
Who’s counting? Who’s “finding” the votes? How many do we need? We’ve got ’em right here.
Check the voter rolls? Oh no you don’t.
These election fraudsters know what they are doing.
The cheating will continue until someone (many someones) with gargantuan elephant balls stops them.
Or at least puts a dent in some of the fraud.
Remember ACORN? Yeah, that was how Barry Obama got his start. He knows the game is rigged. He used to do it!
The gears are in motion to rig every single election from this day forward. Trump will never win they say!
They plan to rig and steal 2024 just as they stole 2020 and 2022.
If you do not believe this is what is happening, then you are a fool.
But at least Trump doesn’t fold his cards and walk away. He tries.
And that is to be admired.
The political and historical ignorance and lack of self esteem necessary to hate Trump (AT ALL COSTS) is mind boggling and insurmountable.
It’s so bad that many people will vote for Biden just to defeat Trump.
Unbelievable!

Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney-Barrett voted with the majority to overturn Roe v Wade, repeal environmental rules invented by the EPA, prohibit race-based college admissions, recognize that the president may not force taxpayers to pay off the college loans of their fellow Americans, and recognize the right of business owners, for religious reasons, to refuse to design same-sex wedding registries.
Without their votes, the historically great Alito, the historically great Thomas, and the fairly-decent-from-time-to-time Roberts would remain voices in the wilderness.
Democratic Party-aligned media (MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, etc.,) seldom, if ever push back against members of their tribe, in fact many are party activists posing as journalists. It’s a shame. Our country would be far better off if only the press were honest.
They are all cut from the same cloth. They don’t even have the concept of the adversarial role of a journalist to demand unpopular accountability from the government. They all drink the same flavor Kool-Aid and believe they are ordained by the
State to support every Marxist whim excreted by the Democrat party of today.

Biden making things up? That’s news?
Biden’s a demagogue, has always been a demagogue, always will be a demagogue. He’s never been smart enough to make a principled argument, and never had the temperament to argue honestly.
Racism does not exist in the United States. Here’s proof…https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/30/us/california-woman-guilty-kidnapping-false-report-jail/index.html
Oops wrong story, I meant to show the quote from Mike Pence, “There may have been a time 50 years ago when we needed to affirmatively take steps to correct long-term racial bias in institutions of higher education,” Pence told MSNBC’s Dasha Burns. “But I can tell you, as the father of three college graduates, those days are long over.” There, proof, he sent his kids to college. Definitive, racism does not exist anymore.
You’re sadly insane and intellectually helpless if you think that article proves anything it only proves that the woman had mental illness.
Nobody’s claiming that personal racism doesn’t exist in society you moon bat,lol.
You think personal racism is going to be eliminated one day,lol… what’s next maybe we can eliminate lying or stealing….lol.
Nice tone.
Controlled wording and not at alll nasty.
Just one person’s opinion on a debatable matter.
A polite agreement to disagree.
The words of one who would never engage in race baiting or name-calling.
No ad hominem there, move on.
In other words, the words of a modern Democrat who cherishes Joe Biden as a national treasure victimized by Orange Man Bad and the forces of systemic racism in the Republican Party.
Another important part is being removed in Arlington Cemetery. Rather history is good or bad, it should not be changed or lost otherwise we do repeat those mistakes.
