WASHINGTON — The Bush administration is between a rock and a hard place in deciding whether to take sides in a racially charged Supreme Court case that pits a group of students against a state university's affirmative action policy.

Opinions by anybody except the SCOTUS Justices are moot when a case rises to that level.

Everybody elses' are moot.

Any opinion from the WH will just be demagogued. I counsel silence....

[TheeBadOne]

Yup

[Hkmp5sd]

I counsel silence....

Even silence won't help on something like this. The news media will be more than happy to tell us what he is thinking in regards to affirmative action and why he's too scared to officially comment about it. They have more sources than Miss Cleo when making up stories.

or maybe he could repeat a famous speech..

"...I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character..."

Affirmative Action :rolleyes:

or maybe he could repeat a famous speech..Then the media would go on a fenzy about the two newly acknowledged children Bush has been hiding.... :D

President To Oppose Race-Based Admissions
White House Weighs Politics and Policy In U-Michigan Case

President Bush plans to declare his opposition to University of Michigan admissions policies that give preference to black and Hispanic students, injecting the White House into the Supreme Court's most far-reaching affirmative action case in a generation, administration officials said yesterday.

The officials said Bush, who faces a deadline Thursday for registering opposition with the high court, plans to pay tribute to the value of racial diversity in higher education. But he plans to argue that Michigan's approach is flawed.

The issue is politically sensitive and legally complex, and top administration aides last night were unable to provide crucial details about the brief's legal arguments, which are still the subject of discussion by top presidential advisers. For example, it was unclear whether the brief's praise of diversity would go so far as to assert that achieving racial diversity is so important that it justifies college admissions officials to consider race, in some fashion.
