Hold on let me find Dorothy, Tinman, and the lion and we have the entire crew to hang out with strawman.
Ignoring the fact that AA has nothing to do with legacy admissions and frankly wouldn’t survive a challenge on it’s own even in a less stacked court; no I do not think banning legacy admissions would be effective policy. Legacy admissions allow an individual to expand capabilities and capacity of educational institutions and get a favor in return. At it’s core it helps more individuals get education at the cost of unfairness which frankly is built in at every level. That rich person will always have an advantage. You’ve fixed a small and trivial piece. They still have the network and funding.
It’s frankly hurting the intended recipients to right a wrong that will not be fixed unless you somehow eliminate income equality. It’s bad policy in pursuit of an unrealistic standard for us to achieve in this decade+.
You keep mentioning whether it’s effective policy, but that has nothing to do with SCOTUS. Their one and only concern is whether the policy is constitutional. Effectiveness is for the other branches of government to deal with.

Sorry, they have nothing to do with each other? Systemic racism is real and legacy admissions are definitely a part of that.

100%. You might want to tell the guy mouthing off legacy admissions then. I’ve already pointed out that the bitching is beyond the scope of this case.
