Tyranny Of The Majority

It's a good thing that we don't subject rights to voting, because of things like this.

The U.S. Supreme Court last week agreed to hear a case involving the use of race as a factor in college admissions. Most voters oppose the use of so-called affirmative action policies at colleges and universities and continue to believe those policies have not been successful despite being in place for 50 years.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 24% of Likely U.S. Voters favor applying affirmative action policies to college admissions. Fifty-five percent (55%) oppose the use of such policies to determine who is admitted to colleges and universities. Twenty-one percent (21%) are undecided.

So let's keep in mind that there's a reason why the GOP wants to change state constitutions with 50% + 1 referendums in order to exclude people all the time.  Rasmussen's questions were about as hostile as they possibly could be to the subject, by the way.  They were designed to get this reaction, and the right will use it to justify a Constitutional amendment to end it.

I mean, if the GOP gets control, they're going to end birth control, health care, living wages and dignity for people who can't afford them, let's just end higher education too.  The country needs a couple million inner city janitors, you know.
