We are all equal again, right?

[GMDino]

I had a nice dinner with some college friends last night.  As I've said before the are very conservative.  We were joined by another friend who is former teacher and very liberal.

Anyway we were talking politics, as we do, and this ruling about AA came up.  I said this court seems to think we don't need laws/rules to protect minorities because, as the constitution "says" we are all equal.  Now mind you we all know that "all equal" was NOT what they meant when they wrote that but that is where we are today.  And if we remove all the different ways others can get a leg up than we would be.

I mention that because there ARE areas when the SC has tried to "level the playing field"...and it seems that republicans don't respect the SC when they do that nearly as much.

For all the scolding of the left for calling SCOTUS illegitimate (which it is), let the record reflect that the first people to openly defy a ruling by it are…the GOP-controlled state legislatures of Alabama, who are refusing to redraw maps to better represent black constituents pic.twitter.com/WF9JFh6zRn
