Appeals Court Strikes Down Michigan Affirmative Action Ban

It looks like the Supreme Court will have another chance to save the Union.

In Detroit, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down Michigan’s ban on affirmative action. In a 2 to 1 ruling, a three judge panel determined that forbidding color conscious racial discrimination violates the 14th Amendment.

R. Guy Cole Jr. and Martha Craig Daughtry were appointed to the Sixth Circuit by President Bill Clinton. 

Now this is sure to make your blood boil: in order to justify striking down the affirmative action ban, the liberal majority argued that the state amendment to the Michigan constitution places an “unfair burden” upon minorities.

Why is it an unfair burden?

Because a majority of Michigan voters don’t want affirmative action in their state. It is an “unfair burden” on minorities because in order to repeal the ban, supporters of affirmative action would have to work through the democratic process, as their opponents have to do, which would require building majority support for their unpopular minority political position!

In other words, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has said here that democracy and self government stands in the way of the desire of elitist snobs and liberal judges to promote permanently aggrieved minorities through color conscious racial discrimination against white students in Michigan state universities.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has drawn a line in the sand: ACLU trial lawyers, leftwing federal judges, race hustlers, and the grievance groups they represent have announced that voting is a meaningless act and that they intend to rule Michigan with or without popular support.

This is a revolutionary decision on the part of the Sixth Circuit.

The U.S. Supreme Court or the full Sixth Circuit better come up with a judicial remedy to this. In light of other activist judges in Utah, Indiana, and Georgia striking down popular immigration laws, it is becoming increasingly to defend the legitimacy of the present system.

If the ACLU and NAACP can make the law in collusion with federal judges, why bother to have elections? What is the point of elections if the results of the electoral process always places an “unfair burden” on permanently aggrieved minorities to advance their agenda?

Ultimately, I am confident the Supreme Court will strike down this insane decision. If the Supreme Court doesn’t strike it down, I tremble for the future of this country.
