A crucial supreme Court Ruling on Affirmative Action could come tomorrow, as colleges and universities grapple with the possibility that race might no longer be a factor in admissions. The Central Question being decided this time is should Affirmative Action continue forever In The Name Of diversity, and are the gains achieved worth the harms allegedly inflicted on Asian American students . This is the most important civil Rights Case of our era. I dont think its an overstatement to say theyre freaking out right now. One admissions official told me, some colleges are so worried about being sued in the wake of this decision that theyre thinking about scrubbing racial and ethnic data from their websites.

Now, at the same t

Lets not forget we are only talking about the house tonight. There is a whole flock of Senate Republicans that are have come out and very strongly denounced her role, said she should be removed from committees and so far as to say she should not be part of the Republican Party. This is a divide that maybe tonight theyre showing somewhat of a unified force. But this is a lingering problem that is going to continue to exist as republicans try and forge their way through this process. A lot of it comes down to winning elections, right . It tends to be that you can win an election as a primary candidate when you run close to president donald trump. We are now starting to see a consistent pattern outside of those strong Republican House districts that are drawn in a way that have more Re
