I wish to have speaks about Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh was the swing vote in the Supremes startling redistricting decision earlier this term, and in the latest major decision on Affirmative Action it was a line in Kavanaugh's opinion, that if Harvard wished to admit more minority students constitutionally all it need do was end its "white Affirmative Action" legacy admissions policy. Other elite universities, Johns Hopkins and most recently Wesleyan, noted Kavanaugh's sentence and ended legacy admissions. Harvard has not, but Kavanaugh's line prompted a law suit by a coalition of civil rights groups and now the Education Department has opened an investigation. Legacy admissions, gray discrimination, are on their way out, thanks in large part to Justice Kavanaugh.
