Mr. Speaker. the Supreme Court is wrong on affirmative action and has now created another national wedge issue. alongside crime. welfare. and immigration. With this ruling. the Court has undercut and may kill many affirmative action programs. The Court read the polls and raised its finger to test the political wind and found a sudden chill on doing the right thingensuring that minorities have a seat at the table and access to economic opportunity. I have supported affirmative action since its inception years ago. I believe it is still necessary. and I am deeply concerned that we may abandon it out of misplaced frustration and political expediency.
