Within an hour of the release of the Supreme Court’s decision in the “affirmative action” cases yesterday, President Biden stepped forth with his pitty-pat steps to decry it. The White House has posted the transcript of his halting remarks here. Biden spoke about the effects of the “affirmative action” regime with the confidence of a guidance counselor, but not the candor. On that point, he regurgitated the public relations talking points of the perpetrators. On his way out the door, he commented: “This is not a normal court.” Is this a normal president?

Biden criticizes the decision: “[T]he truth is — we all know it: Discrimination still exists in America. Discrimination still exists in America. Discrimination still exists in America.” Yes, discrimination on the basis of race is illegal. that’s why the Supreme Court found the “affirmative action” regime unconstitutional.

[Every time I see Biden on TV, I keep thinking that someone needs to rewrite the Joe Jackson song “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” with lyrics about Democrats in 2024. It could be reworked as “Are They Really Going to Stick With Him?” Offer your lyric suggestions in the comments, but the first stanza might be hilarious as-is in reference to Biden. — Ed]
