i don't know if you heard it, but legal bollinger was saying that one thing that they may focus morewhich are now optional in many of the elite schools, because they tend to favor majority white students and students from very wealthy high schools that can get the advantage of s.a.t. prep courses and tutoring as well as changing other aspects of their admission processes. but it's not going to be easy. >> that's right. if you look at our nbc poll, it shows a majority of americans continue to support affirmative action policies. the wording of the questions is so important. the context in which the president approaches this is which he has made diversity in his administration, equity filling his own administration and policies that his administration has been pursuing. this is a president who agreed with diversity being a strength here. it's worth noting, this is a president whose own 2020 campaign saw the fundamental reckoning with race that this country went through in the wake of george floyd. he had pledged to nominate a black woman to the supreme court. he had announced by that t

to see studies archaeology, the article review becky, they had the same character, intransigent bollinger. the chain watching, they found a small cheap house and started renovating it themselves. pretty shell daughter, there was a book about the town and mafia lying around in his house for the moment is the time i didn't make the connection to some of it. so he didn't want us to worry at the end to nino, but down it was an italian and businessman who had relocated to so the backend is the name was the same as many members of the try and get to the dollar client level . so the, the law, it was his most ambitious project was he worked on it for one and a half year. it was all some other myself. so i've explained spoken the products of all 9. and then at that point and yeah, well john was investigating the ties between business people linked to the autonomy and matthew the let me try and get to and the slow bank government here. but so notably an advisor to the prime minister of the money i trust cove, i'm not at the most cool of the that what room is that she was in john's robot seat . so t

it was justice o'connor in 2003 when blaet that in greta versus bollinger. said, yes, race is important. there is a diversity, a compelling state interest to preserve it so the court has a role, et cetera. at the end of that opinion she said there needs to be a sunset, say 25 years, when we have to come to terms with the fact and she pointed to the 14th amendment that said that we have to do away with government imposed discrimination. we are very close to that 25 years she was pointing to. the question now is what does this court do because it's a completely different court than when she wrote this. >> yes. that change has come up with this court. when you think about voting rights and the roberts court on voting rights, there was a question around that kind of imposed formula was necessary to make sure that the kind of government way of eliminating discrimination was still needed, right. and so i think this court is wrestling with the continued question of how to -- how to deal with continued discrimination and i think for folks who really prioritize this

and just a month ago in anticipation of this decision i was recalling to lee bollinger, i was in the midst of applying to law school, anxiously awaiting the supreme court's decision. the decision in 1978 permitted higher education, universities, colleges to consider diversity in enrolling students. i said to lee were it not for that decision, i was admitted to columbia law school i would not be sitting in the room as a trustee of columbia 45 years later. it is still the impulse of many to self-segregate where we live, socialize and work. diversity in higher education has been for americans the first opportunity they have to live, to learn in a diverse society, geographically diverse, culturally diverse and racially diverse. that's been the virtue of higher ed, one of the many over the last generation or two, harvard or columbia or whether it's montclair state. and so we have to figure out where do we go from here in light of this decision. one very crucial paragraph, sentence from that majority opinion of chief judge roberts, chief justice roberts, is this. as we all agree -- and not

firm" case, it appears that this court is ready to reverse where it has stood since greta versus bollinger when the majority said we think there is a compelling state interest in diversity. if you are reading the tea leaves from the oral arguments, do you expect that may change this week? >> i do, poppy. and if there is -- if i am going to be shocked by anything this term, it's going to be if they do not roll it back because this has been something that chief justice john roberts has been working towards. he has a conservative majority to do it. i anticipate that he will, which had be staggering for the country, as you mentioned. it's been more than 40 years of policies. but we never say never and this court could surprise us. we'll see. sometime this week. >> thank you very much. we know you will be with us as those decisions come down. >>> all right. trump, ron desantis, they are set to collide in new hampshire. the latest on the 2024 race coming up ahead. from big cities, to small towns, and on main streets across the us, you'll find pnc bank. helping businesses both large and small, co

word on this because josh is right pointing to justice o'connor's majority opinion in greta versus bollinger, talked about a 25-year sunset and the powell decision and bakke talked about a diverse student body being a compelling state interest. >> the question is also, though, maybe it's not the legal question, but it's what is happening in life as was referred to in one of the dissents. i don't know as a country we have come as far as when she wrote that opinion. what does this being implemented? >> culturally, i think that it is delusional to think our country will prioritize diversity and when we, you know, systemically have been oppressing people, we have been fighting for rights for voting, to use our voice, to be able to vote, to buy property, all these things. inclusivity people have to be active in their allyship towards this or we won't see any change. >> there is a lot more to come on this. to your point, follow steve on dwit. i learn ton. i don't learn lot from twitter these dawes but i do from steve. josh, thanks. lindsay, thanks very much. >>> washington metro police have arrest

and one of those cases was in 2003, it was grutter versus bollinger, involved the university of michigan law school. justice sandra day o'connor wrote we expect 25 years from now the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary. well, it's been 20 years. is it still needed and legally defensible? opponents of race conscious administrations argue that at schools like harvard asian americans are being discriminated against, where they often are scored lower on subjective personality traits. all sides seem to agree that without race as a factor in administrations, the percentage of black and hispanic students admitted will drop, white and asian american administrations will rise. that's what happened in california after proposition 209 was passed in 1996, which prohibited state governmental institutions from considering race or sex or ethnicity in the areas of public employment, public contracting and public education. at the university of california schools, the percentage of underrepresented groups declined. it remains to be seen just how expansive the reasoning of an opinion ban

whether from the original supreme court decision that spoke on affirmative action, gruder against bollinger which came in the 2000s, if you look at that line, what you will see is some really tortured efforts, i think, to fit the prevailing view on affirmative action into a constitutional structure. and what this case does is i'm not sure it makes things easier, but what it does try to do is harmonize some of that and try and walk some of those lines and over the next couple of years, we'll see how successful the court really was. but the decision in and of itself was not a surprise. >> you make a point about how there will be some aspect of race still allowed on a -- on a college application. but how? can you give that to me practically speaking? i mean, yes, you can write an essay. i've spoken with college admissions staffers in the past. it is a voluminous job. it is impossible. when you think about how many get accepted, how many applications, i mean, how fair is it going to be? they say the supreme court says, look, we can still consider it to a degree, but if you're unable to check a

even though there was a suggestion in an earlier court case, bollinger. that said that perhaps this measure of a trying to bring in people to promote a more diverse experience for the students could end in the next 5 years. they are saying that they're still needs to be a lot of work done that the work of making then countries next generation of leaders more sensitive and more inclusive still must continue because discrimination still continues at this point in the united states rather than jordan. thank you. very much crystal clear and we'll continue this conversation in the coming hours. thank you. a funny morehead on this news our including the political faith of results former present as they are both so narrow will be decided by the electoral court in the coming hours. frances highest court that pulls a ban on football is wearing that he job on the pitch that's coming up with peter in support later. so the sum of forces, highest ranking generals have not been seen in public since the mutiny by wagner mercenaries. last week, the group's leader is gett

you mentioned back in the 1970s it came up again in 2003, the big case, greta versus bollinger, in which the supreme court ruled race could be considered as a factor in the admissions process because universities had a compelling interest in maintaining campus diversity. it came up in 2016 at the university of texas. every time the supreme court has ruled in favor of the universities with their admission practices. what's different this time? >> well, the difference is 6-3. i don't know what the lineup is for this, but you now have six conservative judges. the same thing that happened with roe v. wade. now it's our turn, we get to do what we want to do. let me just add, the reason why affirmative action is a good thing, it is not preferential. it's you're bringing diverse opinions to the table. what charles and i are bringing to this conversation today is very different than what white former federal prosecutors would be bringing to you today. so it's just the timing that you happen to have these two black former prosecutors here. so it's a sea change because what's going to happen, as c

so sadly, probably a very complex question but so in identifying my name is cindy bollinger by the way so in identifying solutions or novel solutions at a foundational level, i'm wondering there any common threads identifiable both in the reporting purporting that might emerge? so we've got all these problems identified. are there in your might you have encountered any novel solutions that be present a commonality among your investigations. i have what's going to sound like a flippant answer, but it really isn't one of them is drink more old right that's what the reporters in my book would say. but then they would also say something else, which is the war for public opinion is lost and it matters to keep on fighting for that and that even when you think it's slipping away, it turns around quite quickly in unpredictable fashion. i think part my reporting was seeing what people were doing wrong and, looking at it, saying, oh, this solution and is not the right one and four in black health outcomes it was all black people are poor if we just lift that both, it'll end. that wasn't true and
