IT IS 77 PAGES LONG. IT IS A DISSENT. IT IS A DISSENT AND THE PARENTS INVOLVED CASE WHICH WAS A FIVE JUSTICE PLURALITY AND VALIDATING PUBLIC SCHOOL INTEGRATION PLAN IN SEATTLE AND LOUISVILLE. THE PLANS HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR DECADES PUT IN PLACE BY TWO LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS. VOLUNTARILY TRYING TO ADDRESS SCHOOL SEGREGATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN BOTH OF THOSE CITIES. THE JUSTICES STRIKING DOWN THE SCHOOL INTEGRATION PLAN SAID THEY COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE INTEGRATION PLANS. YOU MAY RECALL IT IS THE OPINION WHERE CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS SAID FAMOUSLY THE WAY TO STOP CRIMINAL ON THE BASIS OF RACE IS TO STOP DISCRIMINATION -- TO STOP DISCRIMINATING ON THE BASE OF RACE. JUSTICE BREYER IN DISSENT, WHICH REMINDED ME OF A LOT OF WHAT YOU HAVE SAID HERE THIS WEEK, WROTE QUOTE I DO NOT CLAIM TO KNOW HOW BEST TO STOP HARMFUL DISCRIMINATION -- HOW BEST TO CREATE A SOCIETY THAT INCLUDES ALL AMERICANS, HOW BEST TO OVERCOME OUR SERIOUS PROBLEM OF INCREASING DEFECTIVE SEGREGATION. BUT AS A JUDGE, I DO KNOW THAT THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT AUTHORIZE JUDGES TO DICTATE SOLUTIONS TO THESE PROBLEMS. RATHER, THE CONSTITUTION CREATES A DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL SYSTEM THROUGH WHICH THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES THROUGH THEIR LEGISLATORS MUST TOGETHER FIND ANSWERS. THE COURT SHOULD LEAVE THEM TO THEIR WORK. I THINK THAT'S THE PHILOSOPHY YOU HAVE ARTICULATED HERE TODAY. THE GIST OF PHILOSOPHY -- THE JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY OF SEPARATE BRANCHES OF DISCOVER -- OF GOVERNMENT. THE FEDERALISM THAT SHOULD HAVE LED THE COURT TO RESPECT THE WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT'S DECISION AND THE WISCONSIN GOVERNOR'S DECISION AND TO STAY IN ITS LANE. AS YOU HAVE PUT IT SO WELL. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF PROGRESS AND WE SEE THIS IN THIS ROOM, BUT THERE IS A LOT OF WORK STILL TO BE DONE AND A LOT OF REASON FOR FOLKS TO FEEL EVEN SOME ANGER AT WHAT WE HAVE SEEN ON VOTING RIGHTS AND ON RESEGREGATION. IN SOME AREAS. I AM REALLY EXCITED AND JOYFUL AT THE GREAT LANDMARK AND HISTORICAL CONGRESSMAN THAT YOUR NOMINATION REPRESENTS. NOT ONLY WILL YOU MAKE THE COURT LOOK LIKE AMERICA BUT HOPEFULLY THINK MORE LIKE AMERICA. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR VERY HARD WORK. ALL OF WHAT YOU PERSONALLY HAVE DONE. BECAUSE YOU AS A PERSON HAVE DONE IT. HISTORY HAS GIVEN YOU THIS OPPORTUNITY. YOUR PARENTS HAVE HELPED TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE. YOUR FAMILY STORY IS SO POWERFUL. YOU HAVE REALLY EARNED. -- YOU HAVE EARNED IT. I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU TO HAVE PROVIDED US THAT MODEL. ...
