Here we are on July 4th eve 2023, 247 years after the founding of the country, and at last, Supreme Court Ends the Last Vestige of ‘Systemic Racism’ in America, according to Josh Hammer at Am Great. Even ABC admits Most Americans approve of Supreme Court decision restricting use of race in college admissions, although they're not happy about it. Da Wire, Most Americans Support Supreme Court Decision On Affirmative Action. Ramesh Thakur at Brownstone reminds us Affirmative Action Entrenches Division and Bigotry. Eddie Scarry at Da Fed, thinks Affirmative Action Is Another Nonsense Leftist Position We’ve Been Conditioned To Take Seriously.

Katie Herzog@kittypurrzog, "NPR airs a piece about how the Asians weren’t actually being discriminated against by Harvard etc and were just being used by white people who wanted to end Affirmative Action while interviewing exactly zero people who dissent from that view." From Da Wire, Ocasio-Cortez: It Is ‘Profoundly Disrespectful’ For Clarence Thomas To Say Blacks Are Not ‘Victims’. NewsBusters reports Mystal Smears Thomas As 'A Mutilated Version Of A Black Justice.' Beege Wellborn responds "I don’t ever – EVER – want anyone to forget how revoting, privileged, and entitled this miserable POS is every single time he opens his vile, racist mouth." At Twitchy, HULK CRY! Mark Ruffalo says SCOTUS is 'illegitimate' for following that pesky Constitution. Da Wire, AOC Suggests She Does Not Know Of Any Checks On The Supreme Court, demonstrating willful ignorance.
Althouse looks at UC Davis plan, "The scale rates every applicant from zero to 99, taking into account their life circumstances, such as family income and parental education."
Those on the inside of the admissions process are outraged by the new decision and adamantly believe it's wrongly decided and actively evil. Now, they will be trusted to apply the new rules, whatever they are (and they are vague enough to manipulate). Some years down the road, we'll have the next round of litigation, and who knows who will be on the Court when that happens? It's an ongoing experiment, and it's never going to end.
Herr Professor Jacobsen at LI, By All Means, Eliminate Legacy And Donor Admissions Preferences Because They Are Corrupting, Regardless of Racial Impact. "My position since long before the recent SCOTUS Affirmative Action decision: “I am against legacy admissions preferences regardless of whether they have a racial impact on admissions, because they contribute to a cronyism that shifts the focus from the individual’s merits to the school’s interest in developing alumni fundraising.”"
From Da Caller, Biden Admin’s New Student Loan Plan Will Involve Zero-Dollar Payments For Millions, No Penalties For A Year.

The old cancellation policy’s $500 billion price tag now almost seems quaint." At Liberty an Prosperity, Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief? A high bar he might just stumble over.

Clarice at Am Think thinks Trump’s Greatest Triumph is A Court That Follows the Constitution. Ben Whedon at JTN, Megyn Kelly celebrates Trump after slew of conservative SCOTUS decisions. "Kelly's touting of Trump's influence on the decisions in notable, in part, due to her high-profile public spat with the former president during his 2016 campaign." Greg Piper at JTN is happy that the Supreme Court strikes at heart of regulatory state with rulings on free speech, religion, education "Rulings for creative professionals and religious accommodations, and against EPA and Education Department, suggest politically convenient interpretations of statutory authority and constitutional rights will face heavy scrutiny." Chris Queen at PJM, Who Deserves the Credit (and the Blame) for Conservative Supreme Court Victories? He gives credit to RBG.

I&I finds The 4 Big Lies (And 1 Terrible Truth) In Biden’s ‘Bidenomics Is Working’ Speech. "The only thing that Biden said that was truthful in his speech is that “Bidenomics is working.” It’s working all right, assuming that Biden’s plan was to destroy America.

Da Caller's Gavin Wax thinks Republican Voters Won’t Settle For A Pale Imitation Of Donald Trump, meaning DeSantis. "The vision of the post-America First Republican Party is one of Trumpism without Trump, Project Veritas without James O’Keefe, and Fox News without Tucker Carlson. It is a sanitized movement, one that is globalist-approved, where the passions of the public are never inflamed, and the agenda of managed corporatism continues without abatement."
Da Caller again, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown Could Lose His Seat In 2024, First Poll Shows. It's a little early to be counting those chickens.

At Breitbart, a Report: Biden Aides Told to Ignore Hunter’s Estranged Daughter in Grandchildren Count. Althouse reads the NYT, "In April, President Biden told a group of children that he had 'six grandchildren. And I’m crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day. Not a joke.'" "But the president has not yet met or publicly mentioned his other grandchild. His White House has not answered questions about whether he will publicly acknowledge her now that the child support case is settled."

Victory Girls insist Biological Women Are NOT Non-Trans Females. At Campus Reform reports ona Prof fired after teaching from 'school-approved and science-based curriculum' "Varkey instead suggests that he was fired after several students left his class early as he taught that X and Y chromosomes determine one’s sex." I'm old enough to remember that. Joe Klein at Front Page describes Transgenderism Lunacy: Keeping Parents in the Dark About Their Children.

Verdict: I declare this my new beer of the summer."
At Twitchy, 'Moms for Liberty' convention wraps up with a touching send off. Karol Markowicz@karol, "Moms for Liberty are absolutely not a hate group&attempt to shut them down is due to their effectiveness.
