For another, Justice Elena Kagan, who might be expected to vote with the court’s liberal-leaning justices in support of it, is not taking part in the case. Kagan is taking a dive on this one. The Dems WANT affirmative action torpedoed in this case, in order to energize their base for Obama ("If Obama doesn't appoint the next Supreme Court Justice, affirmative action will be HISTORY!").
