Sotomayor:
If they were less qualified than other applicants, then good. Now the most qualified applicants will be granted admission regardless of race.
After all, the point of higher education is to educate those qualified and interested in such an education.
The point is not to claim victory for reaching certain quotas of minority students.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
To me, the "content of [your] character" includes the value you place on educating yourself and working to achieve grades that would put you in a position to be accepted into a institution of higher education.
Also, it's not like getting accepted to a college is some insurmountable obstacle these days. We're not living in the 1700's where it's Ivy League schools or bust.

As a result of the ruling, she said, minority enrollment will decline at Michigan's public universities, just as it has in California and elsewhere. "The numbers do not lie," she said.

I believe that King would celebrate today's ruling.

But it's impossible to reason with someone who thinks that every race should be equally represented at each university.
