There isn't anything else to say. I am still waiting for a decision by the Robert's court that actually benefits the people of this country.
I am sure there is something in the Commerce Clause someone over looked in 2003.
This is the hatred of the Right and this is how they mask it. Someone is surprised? Ego. Why would a court with Robert's name on it passively stand by for 25 years? This isn't about justice, the American people or the benevolence of a government among its populous. It is about 'setting it straight.' How many times did I hear Georgie say, "They argued the case wrong."
Get over it, these Bozos are going to turn the hands of time back at least 100 years if not more. The Supreme Court has been corrupted before and here we are again. There is no mystery. We all know what this is about. Roberts came to the court in 2005 and Alito in 2006. They can't wait to get their hands on the decision of 2003. Cannot wait.
...By agreeing to hear a major case (click title to entry - thank you) involving race-conscious admissions at the University of Texas, the court thrust affirmative action back into the public and political discourse after years in which it had mostly faded from view.

The consequences of such a decision would be striking. It would, all sides agree, reduce the number of African-American and Latino students at nearly every selective college and graduate school, with more Asian-American and white students gaining entrance instead.
A decision barring the use of race in admission decisions would undo an accommodation reached in the Supreme Court’s 5-to-4 decision in 2003 in Grutter v. Bollinger: that public colleges and universities could not use a point system to increase minority enrollment but could take race into account in vaguer ways to ensure academic diversity....
