This is a PRIME example of why Proposal 2 here in Michigan had to pass.
BAMN (By Any Means Necessary) is the group opposing the ban of Affirmative Action in Michigan. This group stated that petitioners for MCRI (Michigan Civil Rights Initiative) lied to people about the proposal. (Obviously some of the people signing the petition didn’t bother to actually READ what they were signing.)
Our “wonderful” governor (who retained her seat) Jennifer Granholm, and her buddy, Kwame Kilpatrick (Detroit mayor) filed suit against the MCRI claiming fraud, amongst other things. This suit was thrown out!
Well, apparently the ballot language was loud and clear, as the voters decided for EQUALITY for Michigan!
