Justice Thomas must be a white supremacist right?

It'll be nice to get rid of some of the institutionalized and codified racism in America.

Good for Judge Thomas

Clearly this is being done to prevent the future minority white race to claim their lawful right to affirmative action.

Apparently what's good for the Goose is not good for the Gander.

Future minority?
The white race is less than 10% of the Earth's population, whites have been the minority for a long time.
If you mean just America, then yes, whites will be the minority very soon.
Then everything will be just peachy, right?
Picture an America that looks like a cross of Mexico and Africa everywhere you go.

19 years ago, it was opined on the SC that Affirmative Action wouldn't be needed in 25 years... Here is Wikipedia...

In her majority opinion, O'Connor wrote that "race-conscious admissions policies must be limited in time," adding that the "Court expects that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today." Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer concurred in the judgment, but did not subscribe to the belief that the affirmative measures in question would be unnecessary in 25 years. In a dissent joined by three other justices, Chief Justice William Rehnquist argued that the university's admissions system was, in fact, a thinly veiled and unconstitutional quota system.

@techsouth

I agree with that assessment but the liberals won't.

From a Libertarian's point of view...

No government should ever have the power to dictate to any private institute their operating terms such as admissions.

If you don't own it, *hands off*!

@Earl-of-Trumps

You "Librarians" are only taking away from conservative votes.
Wasted votes on small parties.

Vote for the big party closest to your beliefs and if you keep doing that you eventually get your men and women in power.

My brother is a "Librarian"...we argue about it a lot.

What party is the closest to your beliefs?
The Conservatives.
Get them in power with your vote and you are closer to achieving your goals.

Wasted votes on small parties are a waste.
