if we are still not diverse enough in 25 years, the 14th Amendment will just have to wait a little longer.Exactly. And even if we are diverse enough in 25 years, there's nothing in this opinion that prevents another compelling government interest from being tarted up as justification for discrimination.

How can anyone be confident this Court will not allow preferential treatment based on sexual orientation or religion if such treatment promotes diversity?

i think you hit on something important here. "compelling government interest" seems to mean some phony excuse they use to override the constitution when that document says something that is inconvenient.
