In a dissenting opinion, Alito takes a potshot at Bush’s signature racial justice program.
The Supreme Court announced on Tuesday that it will not hear Coalition for TJ v. Fairfax County School Board, a lawsuit attacking a school admissions program that was considered a cutting-edge conservative idea a quarter century ago — and whose most prominent champion was Republican former President George W. Bush.
Two justices dissented, with Justice Samuel Alito writing an angry opinion attacking a school admissions policy that closely mirrors Bush’s signature racial justice program.
In the late 1990s, when Bush was governor of Texas, he signed legislation creating that state’s “top 10 percent” law for university admissions. As the name implies, Bush’s law guaranteed that Texas high school students who graduated in the top 10 percent of their class would be admitted to state-run universities. The program is still in effect, although the state’s flagship school, the University of Texas at Austin, only accepts the top 6 percent or so of students due to increased applications.
Lol. Wait until we’re saying the same thing about Trump in a decade or so. You really think we’ve hit the bottom yet? We’re riding this thing straight past the nine circles of hell.
I am scared shitless of that. Trump has shown them just how far they can go. Sooner or later another republican is gonna end up in office, and most likely one much, much smarter then Trump.
My prediction is a literal monkey throwing his own shit rather than metaphorical ones.
No, that would be a marked improvement. I’m thinking something along the lines of a Elon Musk/Homelander like situation.
now that you mention it. I never see elon musk and homelander in the same place at the same time!
