the twists and turns of the legal mind bedazzle me.

  The second paragraph of the WSJrnl's lead article today:

  "In a landmark decision with wide-ranging implications for affirmative

  action across American society, the court ruled that it is legal to give

  some preferential treatment to disadvantaged minorities, calling the

  diversity that they bring to education, business and the military necessary

  to the cultivation of "a set of leaders with legitimacy in the eyes of the

  citizenry."

  A new twist to the idea of repressive tolerance from the election thieves.

  Is it implausible to think that O'Connor explicitly sees this ruling as

  counterbalancing some of the damage they did?
