AFFIRMATIVE ACTION is up for re-evaluation again by the Supreme Court, after the Grutter v. Bollinger 2003 5 to 4 decision still seems to have left in its wake unrequited hearts. That decision determined that although a policy taking race into account was not enforceable, it could still be a factor in the admission process. The rehashing is probably deemed necessary by Alito, Scalia, Roberts and Kennedy thanks to the great integration push of the last nine years, which saw among much else an African American man murdered by a white supremacist teen who favored him as a hunt victim in Mississippi recently. A complaint at the unfairness of this was lodged by many white families, stuck in the quandary of how to get rid of their own troublesome relatives. This particular case involves the University of Texas, which up to 50 years ago had no African American law school student to speak of.
