Civil rights lawyer Shanta Driver accused the Supreme Court of issuing a “racist decision that takes us back to an era of states rights” — prompting a furious backlash from anti-affirmative action activist Jennifer Gratz, who accused Driver of “name-calling” and suggested she is the one obsessed with race.
Gratz — former plaintiff in the landmark 2003 Supreme Court case Gratz v. Bollinger, which declared affirmative action systems based on points unconstitutional — appeared on “Fox News Sunday” along with Driver, a lawyer who helped argue the recent case on Michigan’s affirmative action ban.
Driver rejected the argument by liberal Justice Steven Breyer that the Constitution does not require affirmative action, and that local voters may ban it if they so choose.
“White voters are an overwhelming majority of Michigan voters,” she said. “And they voted two out of three to ban affirmative action. Black voters, who are a tiny minority of the voters in Michigan — just because of the demographics of the state, who are about 15 percent of the electorate — 90 percent of black voters voted against the ban. We’ve come back to a place where states can determine what equality is.”
Gratz noted that “what Ms. Driver fails to recognize is that it’s her group that’s focused on race here. The Michigan voters, they eliminated race and gender preferences in public contracting and public employment and public education. Are we to believe that voters in Michigan are also sexist for eliminating gender preferences?”
