Court in Split Michigan Decision

The Supreme Court continues to confuse the issue. The Law School AA program gets a pass, O'Connor made the difference.

The undergraduate program was ruled unconstitutional; O'Connor tipped the balance the other way this time.

At least the principle is upheld that you can use race in admissions; it's just defined ever more narrowly. Pity the poor admission's officers who have to figure this one out.

Here's how NewsMax reports this; take a look at what the news would look like without that annoying liberal bias:

The Supreme Court today upheld a law school's racially discriminatory admissions policy but struck down a more blatantly biased undergraduate admissions policy.

It gets better.
