Spencer had it this morning: the Supreme Court took a katana to affirmative action policies regarding college admissions. Harvard and Yale specifically will no longer be able to accept applications based on racial preferences. Justice Clarence Thomas will probably face hellfire from the Left for his blistering concurrent opinion. The liberal media is in full meltdown mode. And, of course, they’re using this opinion to attack the credibility of the Court, even though over 60 percent of the electorate agrees that we should ditch affirmative action policies.

With this ruling, The Left says we're returning to the pre-Civil War days. Oh, and screw those Asian kids.
The NYT's Astead Herndon warns SCOTUS's rulings on AL & NC won't matter if it rules against affirmative action or student loan relief "can completely undo or upend that kind of legitimacy...even as we've had these decisions that may have gone a different way than folks expected" pic.twitter.com/Q3Vn5YTZaW

Breaking News: The Supreme Court rejected affirmative action at Harvard and UNC. The major ruling curtails race-conscious college admissions in the U.S., all but ensuring that elite institutions become whiter and more Asian and less Black and Latino.https://t.co/SlMCRldkvN pic.twitter.com/flnORE7sHa

Good to remember when you see Dems use this ruling as a reason to lash out at SCOTUS

Beyond legal merits, strong majority of the electorate agrees https://t.co/j0BMySUQPz

Media and Dems: Anti-Asian hate must be stopped!

Also media and Dems: Asians really, really need to be discriminated against so hard.
This is why the Left wants him off the court.

Like a month ago the left wing twitter consensus was that affirmative action didn’t actually exist and the right was making up a problem. Now one single liberal justice has convinced them that the entire country is on the verge of backsliding into the antebellum period https://t.co/lzjsQgkdGk

Editor's Note: Through affirmative action, the radical left perpetuated racism and waged war on meritocracy, but today, the Supreme Court has defended the American Dream.
