Opening Arguments - OA219: Harvard and Affirmative Action
Today's Rapid Response Friday takes us to the front lines of the affirmative action debate with the trial of Students For Fair Admissions, Inc. v. Harvard, a lawsuit brought by a single-issue right-wing activist determined to end diversity as a criterion in school admissions. (And yes, we tell you what we really think!)
We begin, however, with some news regarding the Monsanto trial we profiled back in Episode 202.
After that, it's time for a deep dive into the nuances of affirmative action with the SFFA v. Harvard lawsuit. What exactly does it allege? What's the status of affirmative action law? Where is this lawsuit going? Listen and find out!
Then it's time for a brief Andrew Was segment, in which Andrew Was Wrong about the UK Supreme Court, and Andrew Was... Something... about the good news coming out of the Florida Supreme Court.
Finally, we end with an all new Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #98 regarding constitutional standards. Thomas needs to go 2-for-3 after a recent audit showed a bank error in his favor. Can he do it? You'll have to listen and find out! And, of course, if you'd like to play along with us, just retweet our episode on Twitter or share it on Facebook along with your guess and the #TTTBE hashtag. We'll release the answer on next Tuesday's episode along with our favorite entry!

The Gist - Land of (Only Some) Opportunity
On The Gist, Democrats might actually be winning.
Supporters of open immigration policy—and immigrants themselves—often have a rosy view of what awaits them in the United States. National Review executive editor (and Slate alumnus) Reihan Salam says high costs of living can put immigrants in debt rather than on a path to the middle class. “When we’re totally sentimental about this, we miss some of those struggles, and those struggles are inconvenient. People don’t want to hear about them.” Salam’s book is Melting Pot or Civil War?: A Son of Immigrants Makes the Case Against Open Borders.
In the Spiel, Omarosa again.
