Asian-American Affirmative-Action Lawsuit Against Harvard Has Always Been On Behalf Of Mediocre White People If white supremacists cared about Asian-American students, they'd be fighting to hold Harvard accountable to Bakke, not destroy it...

Donald J. Trump ?Verified account @realDonaldTrump All Republicans support people with pre-existing conditions, and if they don?t, they will after I speak to them. I am in total support. Also, Democrats will destroy your Medicare, and I will keep it healthy and well!

Good to see the acknowledgement that conservative justices deviate from the text of the Constitution. In 2018, corporations are persons for First Amendment purposes, in conservative justices' eyes. Gotta follow tortured logic to arrive there. There's a very fair and reasonable argument to be...

The "man on the street" interviews destroy all faith in democracy, no? It certainly is the worst form of government, but for all the others.

College athletic scholarships are another can of worms, a topic of many very good books.

What I?m describing are accumulative merit-based advantages, knowledge and skills, higher income/wealth households contribute to their kids on a daily basis, over two decades. We shouldn?t disregard non-merit-based advantages kids are born with, that affect opportunities, in youth and beyond...

The social engineering is happening every day, and you, I, other Irvine residents, and other affluent households are a big part of it. We should be highly skeptical and hesitant when government attempts to engineer opportunity and/or outcomes, but we can't simply ignore what's occurring. I...

There are only so many Harvard frosh seats available every year. Thousands of hard-working extremely qualified applicants will be denied admission (and have to settle for another great academic institution). There is no perfectly fair way to determine who's admitted. Share your perfect...

Those are all legitimately fair questions we should be asking, or at least, folks who create college admission standards should be asking. Any resulting standards we create, will be unfair, but hopefully fairer. The unfairness is inherent in the luck of birth. No college admissions standards are...

I get that this comment is made in frustration, but it goes to the broader issue. Kids from Compton and the Central Valley are at a distinct disadvantage to Irvine kids, simply because they chose the wrong parents. There's a lot of entitled privilege in this comment. Your Irvine child from a...

There you people go again, making everything about race, and facts, and truth. Stop it!

Well, Paul Ryan has specific plans to cut SSI and Medicare, and many Dems have plans to tax the "rich" more to cover this shortfall. Your proposals are reasonable, but you can already hear the screaming for each. Net worth caps will get the Reps screaming. One certain argument is the tired...

Further education for anyone sufficiently misinformed, to kindly phrase it, to use the term "Originalist" when defining their view of the Constitution. It's complete nonsense. It always has been. America Has Always Been A Colorblind Society Says Dolt Who Unfortunately Picks All Our Federal...

Let's cut welfare for old folks. They've voted for it. They deserve to reap what they've sown. Get Big Guv out of their lives. They want freedom, not handouts!

Because this is what really gets the vote out and wins Reps contested elections.

I'll never understand, even in this anonymous TI context, why folks so freely relinquish credibility and character. It is amazing.

So, what you're saying is, that this is yet one more example of Trump and Reps subverting the Constitution, despite their professed adoration and reverence for it? Agreed.

OH2 construction efforts extended to every Saturday and many Sundays. I don't see much activity in OH3 on Saturdays. Every weekday there are dozens of cars/trucks lined-up on Orchard Hills Dr. waiting to enter OH3. There are none on Saturday/Sunday mornings.

Hey, Trump's POTUS, and the Reps receive all of their info from Fox, InfoWars, Breitbart, Drudge, etc. So, let your Bigot Flag fly! There are few repercussions.

Shouldn't Trump enthusiasts, and Reps (two separate but similarly situated groups) want someone just like Warren to be the Dem POTUS nominee opponent? Knock the extremist Dems down AFTER they win the nomination. #NotReallyWinning Can we challenge Freddy's Little Boy Failure to an inspection of...
