You can bet on that.
The fact is, there are, IMO, at least five justices who will see clearly that the Michigan policies CAN NOT stand. The cards are, for the most part, in our hands.
The question is: How do we play them so as to get the result we want, and to secure the precedent we NEED. If Thomas or Scalia write the majority opinion, it is the effective end of racial-preference policies in admission. But the key here is to get that majority so that whatever opinion Thomas or Scalia writes is the MAJORITY opinion that sets the precedent.

And the import of the precedent will be to provide the foundation for lawsuits by more-qualified applicants who are denied admission/jobs/contracts by COVERT racism of the type that is being practiced by leftist University of California admissions officers today after prop 209 passed. Simple statistics will show disparity, and force a true race-neutral admissions policy.

Thanks for the ping!
It will take a couple of decades to remove the race card from the real racists of America, the Rats.
6 more years of President Bush and this upcoming Supreme Court decision will be a good start at removing the phoney race card that is played by the Rats.
They even tried to pull the race card in their pitiful marches this past weekend. What an insult to every brave soldier, sailor, marine and airman who volunteered to protect our freedoms. For these racist scumbags to call our service people, racist tools, is a slap in the face of every service person of any color.
