Judging by their rulings, the conservative justices of the Supreme Court believe that the use of race to improve political and economic outcomes for minorities is intolerable, but using race as a proxy for who does not belong in this country is permissible.
The Supreme Court says colleges can’t consider race. But ICE can.
So much for the justices' promise of a "colorblind Constitution."

28 party insiders met privately and voted to overturn our endorsement.
