Biden Administration’s Blatant Institutional Racism Gets Rebuke From Sixth Circuit

Last week, while the press drooled over the president’s ice cream selection, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Vitolo v. Guzman declared unconstitutional the Biden administration’s race-based approach to distributing COVID-relief funds.

While Vitolo only addressed the race- and sex-based reverse discrimination in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the precedent could prove fatal to many other federal and state statutes, regulations, or practices, leaving the Biden administration with a difficult choice: accept defeat in Vitolo and risk a domino effect, or appeal and face an even more unpalatable decision from a newly comprised Supreme Court. . .

Specifically, the ARPA provides that during the “initial 21-day period in which the Administrator awards grants,” the Small Business administrator, who is currently the named defendant Isabella Casillas Guzman, must “prioritize grants to . . . small business concerns owned or controlled by women,” veterans, or “socially and economically disadvantaged small business concerns.” (Read more from “Biden Administration’s Blatant Institutional Racism Gets Rebuke From Sixth Circuit” HERE)
