I wonder if he possessed the constitutional understanding at 22 that he does now? I wonder if he should vote against his understanding of Constitutional law since he benefitted from the program 52 years prior?
It's an interesting how it's all delicately positioned.
Minorities need AA for admission into liberal schools run by liberals lest they be passed over. Liberals attack CJT racially for interpreting the Constitution. All the while the liberal position is the epitome of justice and morality with no effort at introspection to examine their racial bias.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I doubt this will change the racial make-up of any college or university. Basically, the race/ethnicity questions are gone and such things are not supposed to be determining factors ... but they still can be. Every teenager in America is on social media. Schools of higher learning will still get the information they need to admit who they want and exclude who they don't.
Having said that .... Clarence Thomas should still be criticized for having just struck down a program that once prevented him from being discriminated against. I'm sure he deserved to be admitted anyway ... but it's naive to think that he would have definitely gotten in without it. Thurgood Marshall had to go to Howard Law School in 1929. No law school in the country with white students would admit him. That's a fact.
