Supreme Court seems skeptical of affirmative action program at UNC

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Depending on its scope, a ruling against UNC could jeopardize affirmative action at public colleges and universities around the nation and perhaps at private ones, too.
49% : The court's three liberal members put up a spirited defense of affirmative action.
38% : If there had been any doubt about the court's willingness to overrule prominent precedents, it was demolished in June when the justices overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that had established a constitutional right to abortion.
25% : Justice Elena Kagan said she was worried about "a precipitous decline in minority admissions" if the court were to rule against affirmative action in higher education.
