Based affirmative action in college admissions. what is at stake in this case, laura? >> what is at stake is again the disruption of precedent that has been many years in the making. i think people just think that affirmative action is the equivalent of a quota but that is not the law of the land and the supreme court. its about race conscious admissions. it is about a holistic review of somebodys admission into a university or college in this country. and so the same person whos been trying or ...
