After just weeks ago winning a half-year belay to Michiganders’ order to cease racial discrimination in admission practices, Michigan universities have now lost what is likely to be the final theater in their war for the right to discriminate—the delay, originally granted because universities claimed they had already begun to admit their newest classes and could not so quickly adjust procedures, has been cancelled by a federal court of appeals. The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative—the voters’ will—plows on.

By the bye, embedded in the above-linked news report is this delightful paragraph:

George Washington, an attorney for By Any Means Necessary, or BAMN, a pro-affirmative action group that fought the ban, said the ruling shocked him. He called it an “arrogant opinion” by “right-wing judges trying to shut off public debate.”

Mr. Washington is evidently unaware that the debate has occured, and that he lost. Resoundingy.
