It's complicated. After weeks (months? Years?) of anxious anticipation, Sarah and David dig into this term's blockbuster decision:
-Is this a big deal?
-They justices can't agree about the universe of facts
-Harvard's response
-The arbitrariness of check boxes
-A different kind of affirmative action
-Justice Thomas' concurrence (and legacy)
-Justice Sotomayor's dissent
-...paved with good intentions.
