    Supreme Court move allows Jackson to take part in race case

    It will be interesting to see how she opines.

    Supreme Court move allows Jackson to take part in race case

    The Supreme Court on Friday took a step that will allow new Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman on the court, to take part in a case that could lead to the end of the use of race in college admissions.

    Jackson, who joined the court June 30 following the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer, had pledged during her confirmation hearing to sit out the case involving Harvard's admissions policy because she was a member of the school's board.

    The Harvard dispute had been joined to a similar lawsuit involving the University of North Carolina. The court split the case in two, allowing Jackson to hear arguments and vote in the North Carolina case. Harvard is a private institution, while North Carolina is a public university.

    Jackson's participation seems unlikely to make much difference...

    The previous SCOTUS ruling on Affirmative Action was somewhat disappointing because while outright quotas were banned it allowed for soft fuzzy AA policies to remain in place.

    If an institution like a college has a limited number of slots and someone is excluded for being white and or male in order to favor another what does the bean counting matter? It still violates Equal Protection as far as I can see.

    Can she figure out how many should be women and what does that even mean if your not a biologist?

    They all should, but curious why you think she should, specifically?
