The Supreme Court term just got a lot more interesting today, as the Court granted cert on two huge cases -- first, in connection with the University of Michigan's affirmative action program at its undergraduate and law schools, it will consider whether diversity is a compelling state interest to justify an affirmative action program, as Powell indicated it was in his Bakke opinion. It also will decide whether Texas' ban on sodomy violates the Equal Protection clause of the Constitution, with the potential to overrule Bowers v. Hardwick and be a huge gay rights victory.
