Never post and watch a basketball game on tv at the same time. I feel like an idiot,I know what Bakke was-sorry!. My impression today was that the brief filed did not go far enough and didn't ask specifically that race preferences be discarded in all college admission processes-just amended at the University of Michigan. Even though the University of Michigan is the school being sued-could the SCOTUS expand their ruling to include all universities-( assuming they rule against the U of M)?Or are they totally limited to just the U of M? If this is still unclear and it well may be at this late hour,I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks.

Even if it is limited to Michigan, what happens is other judges will look at how SCOTUS decided it - reversals make judges look bad, you see - and as such, they will make their calls based on the ruling.

Please reference my recent post to see how the establishment of PRECEDENT will effectively curtail race-based admissions policies without the having to take on the entireity of Affirmative Action.

In fact, a series of about three positive court rulings could neutralize AA and return us to a Martin Luther King style "colorblind" society.
