As Illinois Law Dean Vikram Amar noted in his Verdict column last week, part of that inquiry seems perverse, or at least ironic: The conservative justices who want to limit race-based affirmative action suggested during the oral argument that because the current version of the TPP only boosts Latino and African American enrollment a little, it may be unnecessary and thus unconstitutional; yet, one would have thought that minimizing the use of race is precisely what it means to… [read post]
