John Hinderaker — an embittered, mediocre old whyte dude (who had seen his entire career benefited at exclusionary clubs, and other forms of plainly unearned privilege)… wants to believe (in silly fashion) that a few red states acting alone can stop federal, and plainly constitutional efforts to make sure … everyone gets a chance at the privileges he reaped at Dartmouth, and later… at Harvard.
But he knows that state house approach is a dead letter; so instead he simply grinds his ax — on the wedge issue he imagines he’d found.
What a petulant… loser he is.
