Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson excoriated her colleagues who voted to strike down race-conscious college admissions policies, accusing the majority of "turning back the clock" on affirmative action. "With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces 'colorblindness for all' by legal fiat," Jackson wrote in a thundering dissent to the major court ruling Thursday. By all accounts, they are still stark," Jackson wrote. But if that is its motivation, the majority proceeds in vain," the justice wrote. Thursday's ruling dealt with two separate cases related to affirmative action policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.
