The article is very sketchy, but I assume that this pertains to the much-awaited Adarand v. Mineta case. BroJack ________ http://www.wkrn.com/Global/story.asp?S=1528152&nav=1ugFJAAy Supreme Court-AP -- The Supreme Court won't be hearing an affirmative action case -- despite a protest from two justices. The divided court is refusing to consider whether a Denver law is constitutional. It gives minority and female owned contractors a better chance at winning some contracts. Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justice Antonin Scalia (AN'-toh-nihn skuh-LEE'-uh) dissented from the court's refusal to hear the case. They say the Denver law clearly violates a standard set by the court that such government contracting programs should be narrowly aimed at addressing only specific past discrimination. The majority of the court is letting stand a ruling that upheld Denver's program. The city had been sued by a company that alleged the law discriminates against white male contractors.
