The Supreme Court recently ruled against affirmative action - which could affect college admission practices ... the same practices that Clarence himself admits got him into law school.
Ketanji , first Black woman to hold her position - voted in favor of affirmative action. Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic to hold her position - voted in favor.
But guess who voted against it 😌 Black people like Clarence really disturb my fucking soul. Like seriously. With that ugly ass linebacker looking pale wife of his .
As always, the Black woman gets it right.
@Justice Jackson https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1674479111543177216 The Supreme Court's landmark ruling Thursday on affirmative action pitted its two Black justices against each other, with the ideologically opposed jurists employing unusually sharp language attacking each other by name.
The majority opinion authored by Chief Justice John Roberts said colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a specific basis for granting admission, saying programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina violated the Equal Protection Clause because they failed to offer "measurable" objectives to justify the use of race.
Justice Clarence Thomas and the court's other four conservatives joined Roberts' opinion. But Thomas, who in 1991 became the second Black person to ascend to the nation's highest court, issued a lengthy concurrence that attacked such admissions programs and tore into arguments posited by liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to join the court, who penned her own fiery dissent in the case.
Thomas has previously acknowledged that he made it to Yale Law School because of affirmative action, but he has long criticized such policies. He spoke in personal terms in his concurrence as he put forth his argument against the use of the policies, which he described as "rudderless, race-based preferences designed to ensure a particular racial mix in their entering classes."
"Even in the segregated South where I grew up, individuals were not the sum of their skin color," Thomas wrote."While I am painfully aware of the social and economic ravages which have befallen my race and all who suffer discrimination," he added, "I hold out enduring hope that this country will live up to its principles so clearly enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States: that all men are created equal, are equal citizens, and must be treated equally before the law."
As he read his concurrence from the bench on Thursday, Jackson, who joined the court last year, stared blankly ahead. ( 
) Though Justice Sonia Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench, Jackson did not read her own dissent, in which she went after Thomas' concurrence and accused the majority of having a "let-them-eat-cake obliviousness" in how the ruling announced "'colorblindness for all' by legal fiat."
A footnote near the end of Jackson's dissent went after the concurrence by Thomas, with the liberal justice accusing her colleague of demonstrating "an obsession with race consciousness that far outstrips my or UNC's holistic understanding that race can be a factor that affects applicants' unique life experiences."
