Clarence Thomas will write the landmark opinion.

Odds are that this will happen just this way. Call it self-serving, but this demonstrates the courage of being a conservative black. The outcry is going to be unprecedented.

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.
