The supreme court can’t make policy they can only declare policy actions made by others as unconstitutional. There would need to be a bill from congress with solutions…
This is perhaps the most significant indicator of bad faith decisions by conservatives.
It’s like gun regulation. A functioning, pro gun, political party would propose gun control regulations which achieve and addresses concerns, while maintaining and satisfying the fundamentals of gun ownership. Advocacy groups, like the NRA, would then have involvement and assurance. They shouldn’t instead advocate for no solution whatsoever: The only possible result of which will be an eventual critical anti gun majority with following blanket fire arm bans. Or occasional, disruptive bans on specific weapons.
Ah, well I don’t know the specific details. So I’ll have to go off of just your one sentence summary… But what you describe is good in general. It should in theory help to address the oppressed groups, which largely overlap with minorities so will indirectly benefit them. It seems to be making a good target on groups that need it, while avoiding the counterproductive targeting, though it still could be used by bad actors to only let poor whites in. I don’t know how to resolve that level.
It’s another type of drop in the bucket thing that is needed, and it seems evident that more things are still needed.
Edit to add: And if the UC program are admitting very unqualified students from those groups at the cost of accepting other more qualified students, they might lead to similar problems as AA too. So hopefully they’ve found an amicable balance. And also btw it doesn’t have to be a zero-sum after all, filling one slot doesn’t have to remove another, slots can be added in various ways.
While AA is not a good remedy, I wish that shooting it down would have come with some better solutions attached.

Solutions? From current politicians?!

The NRA is a rage machine, they make their money off of FUD. Not many gun owners
I know actually like the NRA.
Curious about your thoughts on how UCs do their affirmative action, which is race-blind, but socially and economically focused?
What is UC?
University of California system
