The People of Michigan Overturn Grutter

A victory against racism in Michigan yesterday. The people repudiated Grutter v. Bollinger, eliminating racial preferences in state hiring practices. Even better, this decision came as a political, not judicial, mandate. Californian minorities have benefited from their similar decision.

Interesting, Jennifer Gratz, plaintiff in Grutter's sister case Gratz v. Bollinger, was the driving force behind the initiative.

Yesterday was a lot of things, but it was NOT a mandate for liberalism.

I meant the Democrat wave was not a mandate for liberalism, as evidenced by this issue's vote.
