Another great decision by SCOTUS! Affirmative action should be a thing of the past. If society should be color-blind, let it be color-blind.

Seriously, maybe outside the liberal bastion of Ann Arbor, where the University of Michigan is located, I haven't heard anybody talk about that law in ages.
While I don't doubt the good intentions of affirmative action programs, I do think the country as a whole needs to move on at some point. It is 2014, not 1950, and people know they need to get a good education and do well in school to get into a good college or university. There isn't really an excuse anymore for special advantage.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
