Want to bet? Sandra Day O'Connor, writing for the Supreme Court's majority in the Grutter decision last year, ruled that "diversity" was a "compelling state interest" and thus overruled the Constitution's 14th amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law. The same court basically overruled the 1st amendment last December in the "Campaign Finance Reform" case. It's only a matter of time and more legal precedent.

The bench has been thoroughly infested, that is for sure. Logic has been ignored by the legal profession, but if logic prevaled, then the 1st Amendment would definately trump a "right" to a behavior. That a "behavior" could be equated with a race is bizarre. Also, it was wrong to violate the "freedom of association"--that was a dangerous precedent.
