It is finally time to live what we preach and treat everyone equally. We claim that we do not want racism in any form, yet we have systems that give preferential treatment to specific genders or races. The Supreme Court on Thursday handed down a decision making it illegal for colleges and universities to use race as a determining element for admission. This landmark 6-3 decision evens the playing field for all applicants and allows students to be judged on their academic scores and character without regard for color or genealogy. Some on the Left are calling for an expansion of the Court because of this decision.

Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent that we had taken a step backward by preventing the consideration of race, and this would lead to further inequality in education. Why do those on the Left not understand that singling out any group for any reason is discrimination and a form of racism? A few examples are the President bragging about naming a black woman to the Supreme Court and nominating more women of color to the Federal benches than all other Presidents combined. Gavin Newsom has gone on the record stating if Diane Feinstein cannot complete her term, he will name a Black woman to replace her. By minimizing the search criteria, Biden and Newsom are discriminating.

Equality requires a blindfold-like approach to decisions involving people. We have talked about Martin Luther King’s statement for decades that we need to judge people on the quality of their character and not the color of their skin. When you say you will only hire a Black woman for a position, how many people do you overlook? These actions by such high-profile individuals; are wrong and possibly illegal.

The President, with little legitimacy, dares to call the Court illegitimate because they came down with a ruling that does not align with his twisted opinion. We have reached a point where people can compete on a level playing ground. It does not matter the color of your skin but the content of your mind. This is true equality, and people of all colors should embrace our progress to end racism in America. But, no, that does not work for the Left and Joe Biden.

Joe Biden, the President who pledged unity, was quick to go on the offense against the United States Supreme Court. Instead of saying the vote did not go the way the Left wanted, he attacked the integrity of the Court. Saying this is not a “normal” court. This opened the door for some Democrats to call for expanding the Court. This is a typical call by the Left whenever a case does not work out for them. This would be a complex process with a split Government, but it must be prevented at all costs. Packing the Court with as many as six more judges would change the makeup of the Court forever. More significant rulings are coming today, and we have some idea these will go. We can expect a hectic day at the microphone for Biden and KJP. That is not precisely must-see TV.
