Quotas Reign, Temporarily

The Sixth Circuit Court has reversed the lower-court decision, and ruled that the University of Michigan Law School can practice racial discrimination (my interpretation of the ruling). It was a narrow ruling, five to four. What's most interesting to me is not just the dissent, but the fact that some of the dissenters claim that the majority is not only wrong, but that they cheated procedurally.

I'm no lawyer, but the arguments for the majority read pretty strained to me. This is why the Dems are fighting so hard to keep Bush from putting judges on the bench. They know that the majorities for their nonsense is thin.

This one's almost certain to be appealed. It will be interesting to see if the USSC takes it.
