Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard was a major win for conservatives and a big blow to the left’s beloved affirmative action. Not only did the majority eliminate this so-called “approved” discrimination, but they also ripped apart the weak arguments of the dissenting justices with an unprecedented level of passion. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas did not hold back in shredding the baseless claims of the left, and it was a glorious sight to behold.
The Supreme Court, Affirmative Action, and the Little Matter of Who You Are https://t.co/9ujjFuoUds

Of course, the left is livid. They are now attacking the “Extreme MAGA Court” that has been handing them defeats left and right on election law and immigration policy. They just can’t handle the fact that this Court is legitimately conservative and making decisions that align with the Constitution. Their response? Destroy it or pack it with liberal justices. Typical.
But let’s talk about the real meat of the Supreme Court’s decision. In his majority opinion, Justice Roberts made it crystal clear: separate but equal is inherently unequal. It’s not that hard to understand, folks. But the dissenting opinion from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson completely missed the mark. She, being a token affirmative action pick by Joe Biden, filled her opinion with emotional rhetoric and little constitutional argument. She even cited a debunked study claiming that black babies have a better chance of survival with black doctors. Give me a break!
The problem with Justice Jackson’s dissent goes beyond her reliance on bogus studies. She categorizes people into convenient little stereotypes, the same stereotypes that progressives accuse conservatives of using. How ironic. According to her, your race should be the only aspect by which you are judged. Forget your accomplishments, your hard work, your individuality. Nope, it’s all about the color of your skin. Talk about regressive thinking.
And speaking of discrimination, the victims in this case are Asian-American students who were unfairly treated by Harvard’s admissions process. The left loves to play the victim card, but when it comes to discriminating against a minority group that has succeeded through hard work and strong family values, they seem to think it’s perfectly fine. The logic of perpetuating discrimination to combat discrimination is mind-boggling. But that’s the left for you.
In the end, the Supreme Court made the right call by standing up against affirmative action and recognizing that individuals should be judged on their merits, not on their race. It’s a win for conservatives, a win for equal opportunity, and a win for common sense. The left can throw their tantrums all they want, but they can’t deny the truth. And the truth is that discrimination has no place in our society, no matter what guise it comes in.
