#shorts Biden Calls Ruling Against Racial Discrimination In Higher Education A “Severe Disappointment.”
On 6/29/2023, Joe Biden attacked the Supreme Court after it crushed the racist ‘Affirmative Action’ policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina. The US Supreme Court ruled 6-2 in the Harvard case with liberal justice Ketanji Brown Jackson opting out. Jackson, who sat out the Harvard case because she had been a member of an advisory governing board, wrote, “With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life.” The vote was 6-3 in the North Carolina case and 6-2 in the Harvard case. Justice Elena Kagan was the other dissenter.
The conservative justices said the race-based affirmative action policies violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. Joe Biden delivered brief remarks on the Supreme Court’s historic decision to strike down affirmative action before he departed for New York.
