White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre accused the Supreme Court on Friday of 'taking away important constitutional rights' in their ruling against affirmative action on MSNBC.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sits down with MSNBC's Ari Melber on Friday.
"Let’s not forget the president, when he was a senator, he was the chair of the Judiciary Committee, he is an expert on this, he understands how this works. A lot of these unprecedented decisions that this SCOTUS has made, they have been held up in the past by Republicans, by Democrats, right? And so there’s so much changes [sic] that have happened in the past year. It is, you know, unheard of. It is really wrong what we’ve seen," she continued.
Melber also asked her about legacy admissions and whether the White House had any official stance on it. for now, is, one of the things, because as I mentioned, the president takes this very seriously, he’s an expert at this when it comes to judges and getting judges through. What we’ve done from day one is made sure that we, as we’re nominating judges and getting them through, federal judges, that they’ve been diverse. We’ve done 136 federal judges who are diverse and represent this country.
"Don’t have anything to share on any actions that we’re taking, but certainly we’re going to be very vocal about it. We’re going to continue, as I mentioned, with the federal judges. We’re going to say, ‘this is wrong.’ It is unprecedented. This is what we’ve seen from this Supreme Court," she continued.
The Supreme Court ruled against the use of affirmative action in college admissions on June 29, 2023.
