the cases involve students, mostly asian-americans who say they were discriminated against by harvard universityversity of north carolina, in favor of black and hispanic applicants. lawyers for the schools deny their policies are discriminatory. studies show that white women are the greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action, a fact you rarely hear about on the practice. not only because it would make it harder to get into top schools, but those minority students who are admitted will find smaller communities of peers with similar backgrounds to support them and help them succeed. a gallup poll just last year showed 62% of americans support affirmative action programs for minority groups. the highest in 20 years, over 20 years, so you might wonder why, with all of these problems facing our country, the high court has chosen to focus in on this issue now. the answer is, conservatives are trying to seize a stark opportunity to transform this country, created by the dirty tricks of senator mitch mcconnell, who denied former president obama the opportunity to appoint a justice to the court and ram
