‘Puter finally found some time to read the Supreme Court’s Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin<\/a><\/em> decision. In its decision, a nearly unanimous court stated the lower appellate court (United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit) failed to apply the correct standard of review to its review of the University of Texas’ affirmative action admissions policy.  Therefore, the Court vacated the lower court’s decision and remanded it to that court for action consistent with the Court’s decision.<\/p>\n

‘Puter has the following quick, pithy thoughts on the Fisher decision, as he waits with bated breath for the Court’s remaining decisions to issue, which may occur as early as this morning at 10:00 AM.<\/p>\n

\u00b7         <\/span><\/span><\/span>Justice Kennedy\u2019s majority opinion was joined in full by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, Breyer, Alito and Sotomayor. The Court\u2019s decision should be non-controversial, as it was joined by profoundly conservative Justices and proudly liberal Justices alike.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00b7         <\/span><\/span><\/span>The Fisher<\/i> opinion is conservative. The Court decided the fewest issues necessary to reach a result.  <\/span>That is, rather than reach the issue of affirmative action itself (which arguably was not properly before the Court), the Court determined only that the lower court did not properly apply the appropriate standard of review, strict scrutiny.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00b7         <\/span><\/span><\/span>Liberals incorrectly claim the Fisher<\/i> decision is a vindication of affirmative action in college admissions.  <\/span>Liberals are wrong for two main reasons. <\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>First, as noted above, the Court avoided reaching the ultimate issue of whether government can use race as a factor in college admissions determinations to the detriment of others. <\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>Second, at least two Justices (Thomas and Scalia) strongly indicated that when the case returns to the Court on appeal, they will vote to hold affirmative action programs as unconstitutional.  <\/span>Chief Justice Roberts has already said \u201cthe way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.\u201d Justice Alito is likely a fourth vote to overturn affirmative action.  <\/span>All the Fisher decision did was to delay affirmative action\u2019s day of reckoning.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span><\/span>Conservatives should not be disappointed with the Fisher<\/i>decision. Sure, it would\u2019ve been great to have the Court drive a stake through the heart of affirmative action at long last.  <\/span>But in refusing to do so, the Court has shown judicial restraint on an issue near and dear to liberal hearts. Expect Chief Justice Roberts to use this as a cudgel on the Court\u2019s liberal wing the next time it wants to issue an overreaching decision on climate change, disparate impact analysis or gay rights.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span><\/span>Even if affirmative action should survive its next encounter with the Court, the Fisher<\/i> decision has severely limited its usefulness. The Court insisted that colleges are entitled to zero deference as to the necessity of the means used to achieve racial diversity. In the Court\u2019s words, \u201cRace may not be considered unless the admission process can withstand strict scrutiny.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span><\/span>Here\u2019s a list of money quotes to throw at your hippie liberal friends crowing about how totally awesome affirmative action is, and how it\u2019s now, like, totally even more awesomer because the Supreme court, like, um, totally said so.  <\/span>Read them a few of these quotes, then ask your addlepated interlocutor what makes her (it\u2019s usually a her) think a current affirmative action based admissions program can withstand this standard of review.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cNothing \u2026 signaled that a university may employ whatever means it desires to achieve the stated goal of diversity without regard to the limits imposed by our strict scrutiny analysis.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cTo be narrowly tailored, a race-conscious admission program cannot use a quota system.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cStrict scrutiny requires the university to demonstrate with clarity that its \u2018purpose or interest is both constitutionally permissible and substantial, and that its use of the classification is necessary<\/b>\u2026 to the accomplishment of its purpose.\u2019\u201d  <\/span>(emphasis added)<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201c[J]udicial review must begin from the position that \u2018any official action that treats a person differently on account of his race or ethnic origin is inherently suspect.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201c[G]overnment \u2026 bears the burden to prove \u2018that the reasons for any [racial] classification [are] clearly legitimate.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cThe reviewing court must ultimately be satisfied that no workable race-neutral alternatives would produce the educational benefits of diversity. If a nonracial approach \u2026 could promote the substantial interest about as well and at tolerable administrative expense, then the university may not consider race.\u201d (internal quotations omitted)<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cGrutter<\/i> did not hold that good faith would forgive an impermissible consideration of race. It must be remembered that \u2018the mere recitation of a \u2018benign\u2019 or legitimate purpose for a racial classification is entitled to little or no weight.\u2019\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

o    <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201c\u201c[T]he analysis and level of scrutiny applied to determine the validity of [a racial] classification do not vary simply because the objective appears acceptable … .  <\/span>While the validity and importance of the objective may affect the outcome of the analysis, the analysis itself does not change.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span><\/span>The Court in Fisher<\/i> warned lower courts with admirable force and clarity that the standard for judicial review of racial discrimination does not vary if the wronged party is white. Liberal do-gooders no longer can hide behind the wink-and-a-nod understanding that racial discrimination is fine so long as it only hurts Whitey T. Mann and his racist, misogynist, cracker progeny.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00b7        <\/span><\/span><\/span>Justice Ginsburg is a laughingstock and no longer should be permitted to take part in Court decisions.  <\/span>She is either senile or corrupt based on her dissent to Fisher\u2019s<\/i>majority.  <\/span>Congress should impeach Justice Ginsburg, starting yesterday.  <\/span>More on this later.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all \u2018Puter\u2019s got time for at the moment.  <\/span>He\u2019s off to finish updating a servicing agreement and to hang out at SCOTUSblog.com<\/span><\/a> to await today\u2019s Court decisions.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
