Above the Law - Six

Above the Law - Six of the Nine Dwarves have commented on the Supreme Court decision on Affirmative Action.

Gephardt says:

"When I'm president, we'll do executive orders to overcome any wrong thing the Supreme Court does tomorrow or any other day," Gephardt said.

Ah.

So President Gephardt would bypass the legislative and judicial branches to create law?

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich also made a pledge to put affirmative action into federal law as president.

"If this president doesn't want to let us be one nation, then it's time to elect a president who will let us be one nation," Kucinich said.

But affirmative action locks us in as two, or four, or maybe five, different nations. It institutionalizes the balkanization of the "United" States.

But I think most Americans are sharper than that.
