@TonyStark When people say there's no difference between and , this is the obvious answer: judges! Can anyone really think there's no difference between and ?

YASSS !!! 👑

Required reading by Alfre Woodard of her 29 page dissent.

"The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to end affirmative action in college admissions has rocked the country and pitted liberal and conservative justices against each other. Award-winning actress Alfre Woodard reads every word of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s scathing dissent where she calls the decision a “tragedy for us all”."

«During a term largely defined by cases involving , — the 1st woman 2 serve as a justice — repeatedly voiced a full-throated defense o race-conscious measures 2 remedy . As a former , she proved closely attuned 2 the arguments o criminal defendants, perhaps more so than any other . & she took on a prominent role during the court’s oral arguments, speaking far more than any of her colleagues.»

In his concurring opinion, wrote: ' hi-lights our racial differences w/ pernicious effect, as under our Constitution, race is irrelevant.'

Justice opposing: 'Gulf-sized race-based gaps created in the distant past exist & have been indisputably passed dn thru the generations w/ respect to the health, wealth, & well-being of citizens. Every moment these gaps persist our great country falls short of true equality.'

"[I]n a direct response to the incandescent dissents by Sotomayor and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Roberts’ opinion leaves some room for admissions officers to undertake what might be called a 'holistic review' of each applicant, including their racial identity as it relates to their life experiences. A 'holistic review,' however, was already required by the precedents that Roberts effectively overturned on Thursday. Thus, the decision substitutes one vague regime with an even more ambiguous one—inviting, as Sotomayor noted, 'a plethora of litigation” that will “promote chaos' rather than establishing a workable new order."

"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 justices that led the Roe vs Wade overturn are regularly bribed by . As you drive across state lines for your reflect on that. And even imagine for a moment if it were that accepted a jet ride to a $1k/nite fishing vacation in remote .

"As a result of this opinion, people with illegal convictions and sentences—people who are legally innocent—will be stuck in prison for no good reason because the courts screwed up, not because they did. The law certainly did not require this result. And the Jones debacle carries a few warnings about the nightmare at One First Street."

Sure hoping this precedent is prescient.

just turned dn red states’ request to blow up Medicaid in 7–2 decision by Justice , her most important opinion to date. Even tho altho Justice wholeheartedly embraced the theory on the basis of fraudulent, ahistorical pseudo-scholarship.

These controlled states, led by , sought to gut the enforcement of countless rights secured by .
