Don't Believe the Headlines: This Court is Very 'Normal' | Opinion
Left-wing disinformation operation against the U.S. Supreme Court, which featured numerous grossly misleading ProPublica smear pieces and even a Kafkaesque U.S.
Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on "ethics reform," culminated with last week's conclusion of the 2022-2023 Court term. That culmination, almost foreordained due to the sustained "Democrat-media complex" delegitimization campaign, took the all-too-predictable form of hysterical meltdowns from the usual crowd of MSNBC talking heads, New York Times editorialists, and partisan Democratic activists nation-wide.Yet even a cursory glance at the Court's three major 6-3 decisions to end the term last week belie the activist Left's ginned up hysteria, perhaps best embodied by our President's bizarre condemnation of the Court last week as somehow "not...normal."In the terms twin landmark cases, the consolidated Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v.
Harvard College and SFFA v. University of North Carolina, the Court did nothing other than harmonize Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous exhortation that all Americans be judged by their substantive merits and demerits rather than their melanin content, reinforcing the abiding colorblind dictates of the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
Thanks to our Supreme Court, "systemic racism" in higher education admissions is no more.What's more, the Court in SFFA actually acted as a lagging indicator of public opinion, as Ilya Shapiro points out, distinguishing this ruling from the Dobbs decision of last year in a crucial way: "Americans are genuinely split on abortion, whereas they overwhelmingly oppose racial preferences in admissions," writes Shapiro.
