chief justice john roberts acknowledged remedying the effects of past intentional discrimination is of compelling interest. roberts held that the compelling interest of remedying past intentional segregation was not applicable to the school district plan in this case because the school systems were not under court ordered desegregation plans when they carried out their integration plan. the supreme court ruling altered the constitutional law governing voluntary school desegregation. it is important to note that the ruling does not apply and has no affect on court ordered school desegregation plans. for many latinos the promise of an effective, quality public education remains elusive. despite mendez and brown latino students have never experienced an overall decline in racial isolation. in fact, drastically limited opportunities. for latino school children decreasing racial isolation holds the promise of improved academic opportunities as well as greater political and civic engagements. all significant goals as the latino community grows into its role as the largest community group in

robert geist from st. paul, minnesota, written as a letter to the editor in the "wall street journal" today. and the title of his letter to the editor is "the first cost comptroller will be your own doctor." it's something i've been talking about since we started this. the last thing we want to do in health care in america is to make it where the doctor is not 100% advocate for the patient's best interest. and he quotes very directly the transfer. he says -- he said, a previous article written did not emphasize a potential stealth cost control aspect of the bill. it will transfer the gatekeeper role to the doctors at the bedside arcs role currently held by payers, the government, and h.m.o.'s and insurance agencies, including medicare and medicaid. the transfer will be by capitation of fee payments, making clinics responsible for the cost of care of insured lives for one year. the illusion of many pundits and policy-makers is that many provider -- mini provider gatekeepers can control costs after powerful

john roberts came on in 2005. he is a little more flexible on things and will let oral arguments go a little bit longer. his predecessor, chief justice rehnquist would often interrupt someone right when the red light went on, even in mid syllable. >> this is the chamber where brown forces -- where brown vs. board of education was decided. the most important decision in our history in defining presidential power was decided in that room by human beings sitting on that bench, after having listened to argument by others. the aura of this place is always present. it does not matter how badly a given loyd is doing. and there are some bad lawyers to appear before the supreme court that are just not up to the task. there is something about the feel of the place that tells you something really important is going on here. to my mind, it is very much difference from watching a debate on the floor of the house and senate, where you realize that what may be going on on the floor at any given moment really does not have anythi
