WILLIAMS: Left assails Supreme Court with smoke and mirrors
Today’s media landscape is marked by an audacious deception, fueled by an agenda to skew public opinion and subtly undermine the foundational principles that undergird our nation. Regrettably, and perhaps unsurprisingly, this often finds its mark. This taps into a flaw in our brains, one that favors apparent experts and short, easily digestible sound bites over complex, lengthy legal dissertations.
We’re not talking about a person selling doughnuts or toys, we’re talking about speech. But you’ll be hard-pressed to find liberal pundits commending the Supreme Court for safeguarding people from the slippery slope of government-compelled speech. Instead, you’ll encounter them levying outrageous claims, asserting the Supreme Court has given discrimination its legal seal of approval.
Consider, too, the affirmative action case that questioned whether there was a compelling justification for discrimination in college admissions. The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down affirmative action was firmly rooted in historical precedents, citing clearly past cases where justices from both ends of the ideological spectrum plainly stated that discrimination in college admissions is “dangerous,” but ultimately allowing it temporarily — and only temporarily.
