Mixed bag of nuts

Post by MajGenl.Meade »

The six conservative, Republican-appointed justices stuck together to block Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, to bar US universities from considering race in their admissions process, and to allow creative professionals to refuse to work on material that promotes gay marriage.
Good. "Minorities" are already over-represented:
The overall college enrollment rate for 18- to 24-year-olds decreased from 41 percent in 2010 to 38 percent in 2021. The college enrollment rate in 2021 was higher for 18- to 24-year-olds who were Asian (60 percent) than for those who were White (38 percent), Black (37 percent), of Two or more races (35 percent), Hispanic (33 percent), and American Indian/Alaska Native (28 percent).

And in earlier decisions some of the naughty conservative judges sided with the saintly three libs:
The court sustained Mr Biden's immigration policies which prioritize the deportation of undocumented migrants who have committed serious crimes or recently arrived in the US.

It upheld provisions in the Voting Rights Act, a landmark piece of civil rights legislation from the 1960s that required states to ensure that minorities have representation in Congress and legislatures that is equivalent to their overall population.

It refused to endorse a right-wing theory that state legislatures have sole power to run elections - a proposal that could have allowed states to overturn the results of any future presidential election.
These (particularly 2 and 3) very good.

Two news quotes from BBC at:

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
