People who read my blog know my stance on the Harvard affirmative action case where it now seems persistence may yet pay off for the diversity denier of all time, one Ed Blum.
He’s dedicated his life to upending diversity and race equity everywhere in society from voting rights to higher ed.
And now it looks like his time has come.

Conservatives aren’t automatically against affirmative action. The late Justice Sandra Day O’Conner wasn’t. And to the court’s credit, it’s always allowed for race to be addressed within reason. No quotas, of course. But race has always been allowed as a factor in challenges like he Grutter decision. And even in the Fisher v. Texas case.
That’s when Blum, who was the Oz in the Fisher case, realized he had the wrong plaintiff. A white woman wasn’t even good enough for Antonin Scalia.
