What the fuck? The Supreme Court made a decision that protects American citizens? Did they misunderstand the question?
Why is everyone so surprised? SCOTUS makes the "correct" decision quite often.
Independent Legislature Theory? Shot down.
VRA? Upheld.
Racially Biased Admission Criteria? Junked.
Indian Child Welfare Act? Upheld.
AA was not racially biased, it was necessary and it still is
"After California banned race-conscious admissions in 1996, the proportions of Black and Latino students at UCLA, one of the most elite school’s in the state’s system, fell drastically. By 2006, a decade later, only 96 Black students enrolled in a freshman class of nearly 5,000. They became known as the Infamous 96."

Defending that is seriously messed up. Everyone agrees that AA wasn't perfect, but it was the most effective way of diversifying student bodies. Racist Republicans got what they wanted, it's as simple as that.
