Episode: Ep. 407: The End Of Affirmative Action, Pt. 1
Description: (This is part 1 of a 2-part episode)
Monday's Supreme Court oral arguments for the affirmative action cases involving Harvard and UNC presented no surprises, almost ensuring a victory for the SFFA's Asian American plaintiffs. But the consequences of this victory go far beyond Asian students and college admissions: this could be a twin of the Dobbs case overturning Roe v. Wade and resetting the foundations of Constitutional interpretation. Eliza, Jess, and Teen try to dive into the deeper meaning behind this court case.
