Today in Balls and Strikes, I talk about the implications of the affirmative action decision:
The Court considers targeted efforts to remedy racial injustice automatically constitutionally suspect, & happily constitutionalizes a white supremacist status quo

The Supreme Court Still Doesn’t Understand the Centerpiece of the Constitution
The conservative legal movement pretends the Constitution is colorblind. But it’s only been blindfolded.

I don't really know what the point of having Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson show up for arguments next term is. Their participation just legitimizes an insane judicial dictatorship without doing anything to curb it.

One thing you can glean from Thomas’ opinion is that he is absolutely livid that Jackson is there. Had a similar reaction to Obama but he was term limited.

It's hard to be more hostile to Madison's republican political principles than a court majority put in power by the guy who came in 2nd in the popular vote retroactively disallowing lawmaking by the elected branches & then requiring it to be passed again, in the face of a minoritarian Senate veto.

Neil Gorsuch didn't have anything to say about this, while blowing a hole in public accommodations law for people who find gays squicky.
![footnote 4 from Sotomayor's dissent in 303 Creative v. Elenis: "The men in [Zawadski v. Brewer Funeral Services, Inc.] are Robert “Bob” Huskey and John “Jack” Zawadski. Bob and Jack were a loving couple of 52 years. They moved from California to Colorado to care for Bob’s mother, then to Wisconsin to farm apples and teach special education, and then to Mississippi to retire. Within weeks of this Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, Bob and Jack got married. They were 85 and 81 years old on their wedding day. A few months later, Bob’s health took a turn. He died the following spring. When Bob’s family was forced to find an alternative funeral home more than an hour from where Bob and Jack lived, the lunch in Bob’s memory had to be canceled. Jack died the next year."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zltqtmydso6kikzw7wafpj4p/bafkreigb2h7zidz32mfcpod445ndytw6vq6qrsf2zf3uvvjz6zhw4fiyme@jpeg)

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court struck down the Biden administration’s plan to cancel over $400 billion in student debt. The case in question was based on alleged harm to the loan servicer MOHELA, which did not seek the lawsuit and did not want to be associated with the case.
