Michigan Civil Rights Initiative and the Supreme Court

Which amendment would you prefer regarding institutions funded by tax dollars:

1. Any public college or university, community college, or school district SHALL NOT discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.
or
2. Any public college or university, community college, or school district CAN discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.

Hopefully you chose the first, if so, then you chose the Michigan amendment that the Supreme Court just upheld in a 6-2 vote as not violating the Constitution.  Sotomayor and Ginsburg were the only two opposed to civil rights and apparently the only two who can't read the Constitution.  Justice Breyer, in a rare fit of common sense, was able to see the light of day.

Among other things, it's a victory for black self-esteem.  At least in Michigan, when blacks graduate from college they'll know that liberals won't be able to pat themselves on the back and take the credit for it.
