'' The Supreme Court handed down a monumental decision dealing with affirmative action, which dealt with two cases, one about Harvard and the other about the University of North Carolina. While Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused herself from the Harvard case, she wrote the dissenting opinion regarding the North Carolina matter. ''
âWith let them eat cake obliviousness today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces color blindness for all by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life,â Jackson said.
Justice Clarence Thomas just ripped apart her dissent, noting that Jackson herself was applying ârace-based stereotypes.â
Foxâs Martha MacCallum brought up the dissents of Jackson and Justice Sonia Sotomayor to Virginia Lieutenant Gov. Winsome Sears.
âShe and Justice Sotomayor were outraged by this decision,â MacCallum explained. âSotomayor said, âThe opinion today will highlight the courtâs impetus in the face of America who cries for equality resound.â What would you say to these justices?â
Sears did not hold back on what she thought.
Winsome Sears on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson:
"What you have is a justice who was chosen because she's black and because she's a womanâŚ"

âWell, what you have is the justice who was chosen because sheâs black and because sheâs a woman,â Sears responded, referring to Jackson. She even took a shot at KBJ ducking the definition of women, âYou know, thatâs what weâre understanding now, what a woman is.â

Sears pointed out that while our country is focused on such chaos, countries that wish us ill are not wasting their time in such a manner. She gets right to the heart of the matter of what we should be concentrating on and what we have to do to address some of the major problems in education.
And Martha, while weâre playing these stupid games, Iâm saying that education and the lack of it in America is risen to a national crisis. China is not playing these stupid games. China is interested in total world domination, and so is Russia and the rest of them. Thatâs what we have to be concerned about. Our children are not learning. In fact, when they do graduate from high school and decide to go on to college, Martha, more than 60% of them, according to the statistics, need remedial education that very first year. So, you know how, uh, the president is talking about getting rid of student loans? Well, then the children are having to stay one extra year in college based on loans that they have taken for work that they should have completed when they were in high school. So, letâs cut that, and letâs get to what the remedies are. And Iâm pulling for school choice. School choice now. Our children are in need.â
But the Democrats donât seem to want to rectify the problems, they want to continue the discrimination that was apparent in these affirmative action cases while pitching constant racial victimhood to help their power.
Sears then went on to skewer the Democrats over that.
WINSOME SEARS: "The slaves did not die in the fields so we could be saying, in this century, that we are victimsâŚThey would say to us, is THAT what we died for?! No. We died for you to have an opportunity. Take it! You have that!"
"If you are a victim, that means you need aâŚ

âWe want all children to have an opportunity,â Sears declared. She explained how her father came with $1.75 in his pocket, yet used education to be the success that he was. She pointed to Kamala Harris being âsecond in commandâ and to herself as âsecond in commandâ of the âformer capital of the Confederate States. Have things changed? They have! And I say to our children: you are overcomers. Donât let anyone tell you youâre a victim. If you are a victim, that means you need a political savior. You donât need them! Stay in school! Study! Burn the midnight oil!â
Sears just brings it back to reality â what a concept that education is supposed to be about education, not the latest victimhood narrative from the Democrats. Itâs hard to say it better than she did.

'' Justice Clarence Thomas isnât the only person who made an epic response to Ketanji Brown Jacksonâs absurd dissent in the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions v. the University of North Carolina cases. During an appearance on Fox News, Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears blasted Jacksonâs dissent while calling out Jackson as an affirmative action pick to the court.''
Host Martha MacCallum asked, âThis is the dissent from Justice Jackson. She said, âWith let them eat cake obliviousness today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces color blindness for all by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life,â she said. She and Justice Sotomayor were outraged by this decision.

Justice Clarence Thomasâs concurring opinion directly addressed Jacksonâs dissenting opinion, calling her out by name multiple times. According to Thomas, Jacksonâs ârace-infused world view falls flat at each step. Individuals are the sum of their unique experiences, challenges, and accomplishments.â
Thomas wrote, âWhat matters is not the barriers they face, but how they choose to confront them. And their race is not to blame for everythingâgood or badâthat happens in their lives. A contrary, myopic world view based on individualsâ skin color to the total exclusion of their personal choices is nothing short of racial determinism.â
