Regarding question 1 if it was a private school no biggie; however, that was not the case and thus the due process clause applied.

Regarding 2 and 3 I believe that what you fight for is usually where your convictions lie.

It was a STATE School, where in the Constitution is the Federal government granted power to set the admission standards of State schools?

If Federally mandated affirmative action for State schools was unconstitutional, then the reverse is as well.

Defense attorneys get paid to defend their clients, the right to counsel is a Constitutional guarantee.

Amendment VI

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

Attorneys get paid to argue the law, not to argue about their convictions.

By the way, your statement is all about how one "feels" about the law...very liberal.
