USA TODAY’s John Fritze previews the upcoming Supreme Court term with cases that involve LGBTQ rights to affirmative action.
RELATED: Abortion ruling raises questions about legitimacy of Supreme Court
Even as the fallout continues over its controversial abortion ruling in June, the Supreme Court is gearing up for a new term in which its conservative majority will wade into questions about race, LGBTQ rights and federal elections. The nation's highest court has agreed to hear 27 arguments so far – roughly half its expected caseload for the term that will likely end in June 2023.
Perhaps the most closely watched cases at the Supreme Court this term involve race-conscious admissions policies at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina. Those schools consider race as one of many factors in deciding whether to accept prospective students, a policy that is consistent with current Supreme Court precedent. But an anti-affirmative action group has argued the policies discriminate against Asian American and white candidates in violation of federal law and the Constitution.

They will see how many rights they have after the country collapses 🤣🤣
I thjnk its kinda ironic how you put laughing emojis after saying that the USA is gonna collapse 😂 😂
the right to die
@Samuel Luria So you support gerrymandering dominant black people counties? Are you racist
@Cheeseoogus because it is. The writing is on the wall
Elections must be coming up
Someone doesn’t understand the most basic ways the American government works.
“Right to affirmative action” is inherently a contradiction.
How so?
@Ryan Cruz well it actually contradicts the idea of equal rights if the color of your skin or your sexual orientation gets you a job or a position and a company or Academia more easily than that in itself is discrimination
Just in time for their new judge activist!
the real question is, why does this video present them with false hope. A liberal judge was replaced by a liberal judge after years of a liberal dominated scotus and years of a gridlocked scotus
@Idkwhattohaveasausername
Wrong use of “based”
@bird nope. I used it correctly
@Idkwhattohaveasausername
No
@bird yes
Affirmative action needs to be eased out of. Theres so many work places that do not give the job to skilled people fit for that job, but instead to a good statistic on paper. Its anything but liberty.
Brown is living proof.
No need to ease out of it. Just outlaw it with the complete disdain the policy deserves.
A volleyball girl team was banned from changing in the locker rooms because they were uncomfortable changing in front of a trans student, a boy who claims hes a girl.
But that’s (D)ifferent! They don’t have that right! /s
I identity as someone who doesn’t care about these people
Equal rights should be just that. We need to quit making bullshit exceptions.
Everyone has equal rights.
You want affirmative action? Do affirmative actions. It’s really not that difficult.
NO SPECIAL TREATMENT TO ANY GROUPS!!!
Equity is bringing racism back. Hiring people for any reason other than “Who’s the best for the job” is an unfair and immoral reason. Race or sexual preference should never once factor into any hiring decisions.
Straight white people are cool though but let’s be honest… Part of White Culture is working hard to raise a family. Other cultures can’t understand this concept
That’s the ONLY valid hiring reason. However, I do reserve the right to not hire people if I don’t like them. For whatever reason. It’s not like I have to tell them the real reason I didn’t hire them.
@wombatdk READ i reserve the right to be a bigot.
Why the hell should they get affirmative action???? This is ridiculous 🤦🏼♀️! In my opinion, no one should. Everyone can work hard & earn their way to the top best schools ECT. No one is above or below anyone else. The sooner some realize this the better
Why not just have the same rights for everyone, like the ones in the Bill of Rights?
@C K when you all agree who needs to be governed?
@Delirious Mysterium Incomprehensible
@C K if my ship is sunk and my mates all flee and i can not save them for the life of me i pray their deaths to be redeemed; their king is dead.
@Delirious Mysterium Ok schizo
@C K my mother is.
Affirming our second amendment rights will always be a fight, but none of our other rights will stand the test of time if this one ever falls. The 2nd protects the rest.
You have to pass a test to become a doctor and lawyer, why not any other profession? You know, to make sure you’re capable of doing the job!
I’d like to see a test prior to politicians running for office.
Don’t care either way just keep your hands off the 1A and 2A. 👍
Affirmative Action (AA) should have been done away with decades ago. Not only does it disproportionally affect Asian Americans, but it adds an asterisk next to anyone of color who legitimately is talented and just as deserving as their white or Asian peers. I know it’s intentions were good, but black and brown people are insanely talented and resilient, and I think we need to give them a chance to succeed on their own merits, and I also think the racist white people in favor of AA will be surprised just how much black and brown people still succeed despite its removal. It is way past time that society stops infantilizing black and brown people by saying “its ok, we know you aren’t as good as whites or Asians, but we will still give you spots to meet a skin color quota as a participation trophy.” I don’t think anyone other than racist white people want AA anymore.
So, not equal right (which we all have in the US)… Special rights. Gotcha 🙄
What ” rights” don’t GBTQ members have? they actually have Privilege
Right to affirmative action Translation: A right to demand Racial Privilege
