Does Fairness mark the beginning of the end for Affirmative Action?

This morning's Supreme Court decision is certain to have race-hustlers, feminists and an array of libs up in arms (for a change!). Genuine equality and the will of the people won out in Michigan, setting a precedence that could reverberate throughout the states...

AP: The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld Michigan's ban on using race as a factor in college admissions.

The justices said in a 6-2 ruling that Michigan voters had the right to change their state constitution in 2006 to prohibit public colleges and universities from taking account of race in admissions decisions. The justices said that a lower federal court was wrong to set aside the change as discriminatory.

Justice Anthony Kennedy said voters chose to eliminate racial preferences, presumably because such a system could give rise to race-based resentment.

Kennedy said nothing in the Constitution or the court's prior cases gives judges the authority to undermine the election results.

Imagine that, a path away from quotas and towards colorless qualification. Seems like something the utopians should be able to jump on. But then, as Justice Kennedy’s argument proclaimed, "Courts may not disempower the voters from choosing which path to follow," shouldn't that weigh equally with California's Prop 8 or Arizona's immigration enforcement? Yes, it should...but then that would solely depend on a consistent Supreme Court, which I've never experienced in my lifetime.

Let's just hope this decision broadens beyond merely college admissions.
