It looks like we will get 3-4 opinions today. Mallory is out and it's a 5-4 decision. Relates to lawsuits and state jurisdiction

Next case from Colorado involving a stalker trying to say his threatening speech was protected. Shot down 7-2. Kagan reading opinion

Last one is the NC election case. No more today.

Last one is the NC election case. No more today.

That is the one with the greatest impact. It means that Legislators are not free to do whatever they want in regards to Federal Elections. 6-3 in favor of Courts deciding if the maps and election laws are legal according to the Constitution.

They’re delaying coming out with the rulings for the two most heated cases - Affirmative Action and student loan forgiveness. I expect announcements either tomorrow or Friday, before the long weekend.

I just hope that blacks and the misguided whites who support racist policies at the admissions office don’t have a big riot on July 4th.

Well, the white bankers that got bailed out to the tune of trillions of dollars three times now, and their misguided ass kissers , certainly shouldn’t have to carry any burden on loan interest. That would be way over the top right?

Its likely that this week will be a bad week for the good guys. Progress is seldom a straight line.... that is just the way it goes.

The silver lining is that a court engineered to be unscrupulous by the GOP will be who ends AA and loan forgiveness, which will benefit Democrats politically.

The really important ones. Let’s see if the left-wing blacks who insist that Affirmative Action doesn’t give them advantages over whites and Asians with higher grades/scores accept the decision without criticism since, apparently, it didn’t help them anyway.

And as far as loan forgiveness, we can’t require car mechanics and secretaries to bear the expense of paying off the loans of accountants and architects.

AA Struck down: "the Court holds that the universities violate the equal protection clause..."

 

[Lisa558]

Yay! AA violates equal protection clause. Now whites and Asians won’t be discriminated against due to their skin color.

AA Struck down: "the Court holds that the universities violate the equal protection clause..."

I looks like it might have been a 6-3 vote? Still getting a handle on it
