In a 2-1 decision, the Appellate panel ruled that Prop 2 violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment. "The majority may not manipulate the channels of change in a manner that places unique burdens on issues of importance to racial minorities," Judges R. Guy Cole and Martha Craig Daughtrey wrote in the majority opinion.
Prop 2 was passed in November 2006 by a vote of 58%-42%, and the Detroit Free Press reports that in the breakdown, it was "overwhelmingly approved by white voters and overwhelmingly rejected by blacks."
The Supreme Court threw out Prop 2's total ban on affirmative action in Michigan, but a separate case left the ban on using it for college admissions. Now that ban is gone as well. Naturally it's "judicial activism" and "state-sanctioned racism" because whites have been victimized for 236 years now in America by our long line of black Presidents. After all if the law says racism is illegal, then nobody will ever break that law, so that means discrimination doesn't exist and there's no need for affirmative action.
In other words, white conservatives say Barack Obama as President proves racism is dead in America so there's no need for affirmative action (while complaining about his "arrogant gangster thug" administration and comparing his wife to a lower primate) and black conservatives say as long as affirmative action exists, blacks will continue to be discriminated against, because discrimination doesn't exist because it's illegal, only discriminatory affirmative action does.
Awesome. Can't wait for another week or two of this.
