There's really two issues out of this..
First, the LA times opinion there is overboard. The court issue here is these are state amendments to their Constitutions. This is not an indictment against affirmative action by the courts.
Second, affirmative action is a joke. It is institutionalized discrimination in and of itself. Students should be selected by merit, not by race. I'm glad more US states are taking a stand against racism, and find it funny that it's considered racist to oppose race-based discrimination.
