SIAP. Tried to search.

Is this really a game changer in the US? What do you think the implications might be?

Justice Elena Kagan recused herself from the case, presumably because of a conflict of interest from her time as U.S. solicitor general.


But she wouldn't for ObamaCare.

From your link:

quote:

The writing appeared to be on the wall at the Supreme Court based on the influence of Chief Justice John Roberts, an opponent of racial preferences who famously wrote in another case several years ago that "the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."


BOOM.

Wow.

There is hope that we might be able to finally do away with state sponsored racism.


ETA: waiting to see if Obama tries to "fix" it with an executive order.

This is huge news.. Haven't gotten to read it in its entirety.. But I do agree with the vote.

Sotomayor's dissent is crazy long
She mad.

If they struck down affirmative action then why is Obama still in office?
