race may be considered as a factor, but that racial quotas are strictly prohibited. It has been that way since Bakke. There is really no reason to change it now except that the Court has a different composition. Who knows? Maybe they will make a very narrow ruling? (Yeah, right.)

Again though, the topic of court stacking is far, far beyond affirmative action. The "conservatives" have already shown no compunction about making arbitrary decisions regarding legislation. Of course, they are accountable to no one.
