Affirmative Action is Dead: Libertarians React to SCOTUS Ruling

Libertarian Counterpoint 1664 7/6/23

In this episode of Libertarian Counterpoint, James Just and John Cameron discuss the recent Supreme Court ruling that struck down California’s affirmative action law, which allowed race and gender preferences in public education, employment and contracting. They examine the arguments for and against affirmative action, and how it affects individual rights, social justice and economic opportunity. They also explore the implications of the ruling for the future of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in the state and across the nation.

They also tackle some of the hot topics of the week, such as:

How some Democrats are attacking the Supreme Court for its conservative decisions, and why that is hypocritical and dangerous.

How a obscure legal doctrine called “qualified immunity” shields police officers and other government officials from accountability for violating civil rights, and why the Supreme Court should end it.

How a suspicious white powder was found inside the White House complex, and what that says about the Biden administration’s drug policy.
