It looks like Dick Gebhardt may not have to overrule the Supreme Court after all. While they struck down Michigan's use of a point system to give "extra credit" to minority applicants, they pretty much said that racial discrimination is ok.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday upheld a controversial affirmative action policy employed at the University of Michigan's law school, but struck down a policy used by the undergraduate school that gave certain racial groups a head start in admissions.

Fox News reports that the Court struck down the undergraduate admissions process (that gave 20 points to minority applicants) by a vote of 6-3. CNN reports the vote was 5-4, saying "the law school program was upheld by a vote of 5-4; the undergraduate program was overturned by the same margin."

UPDATE: Not that the margins really matter, but MSNBC reports it as 6-3 too. I would watch the video on CNN, but they want $40 just to see it.
