Again, there is a big difference between AA (which is not necessarily a bad thing) and quotas (i.e. the Michigan rules). Conservatives will be cutting their own throats if they fail to understand this difference and frame their policies accordingly.

An article I read said Bush also is considering a middle of the road brief, in which he supports AA in principle, but not when it discriminates with quotas. I doubt he would file a brief completely against AA. I am betting that it is this middle-of-the-road option vs. no involvement at the WH right now. I am thinking the middle-of-the-road brief will win out in the end.
