Winsome Sears Goes There in Responding to Justice Jackson's Dissent in College Admissions Case

Supreme Court Bans Affirmative Action in College Admissions – PJ Media   . . ."Kenny Xu, president of Color Us United and a second-generation Chinese American, responded to the ruling in a statement.

“ 'These Supreme Court rulings are a victory in the fight to restore merit and equal opportunity to the college admissions process. Top schools have been rigging the game in the name of diversity for too long,” he said. The landmark decisions confirm that using racial preferences to choose applicants is not only unfair, but unconstitutional. We need to keep holding schools accountable to help ensure that all of the best and brightest students get the fair shot they deserve, regardless of race.' ”

 Leah Barkoukis (townhall.com)  Only she could say this.

"During a discussion reacting to the Supreme Court’s ruling that affirmative action policies in college admissions violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears called out Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for being a diversity hire." . . .

. . .“Well, what you have is the justice who was chosen because she’s black and because she’s a woman,” Sears responded. “You know, that’s what we’re understanding now, what a woman is. And Martha, while we’re playing these stupid games, I’m saying that education and the lack of it in America is risen to a national crisis. China is not playing these stupid games. China is interested in total world domination, and so is Russia and the rest of them. That’s what we have to be concerned about. Our children are not learning. In fact, when they do graduate from high school and decide to go on to college, Martha, more than 60% of them, according to the statistics, need remedial education that very first year. So, you know how the president is talking about getting rid of student loans? Well, then the children are having to stay one extra year in college based on loans that they have taken for work that they should have completed when they were in high school. So, let’s cut that and let’s get to what the remedies are, and I’m pulling for school choice. School choice now. "Our children are in need.”

Sonia Sotomayor's pretty pissed off that 'six unelected members' of SCOTUS have a say in Court decisions – Twitchy   "Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent in yesterday's Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action in college admissions was really something, wasn't it? It read like it was written by someone who genuinely doesn't understand the what the Supreme Court actually does and how it's actually supposed to work.". . .
