On Tuesday, a federal court judge upheld the constitutionality of Proposal 2. Proposal 2 was the 2006 ballot initiative in Michigan that banned affirmative action policies based on race and gender. The judge in the case, David Lawson, said that Proposal 2 does not violate the 14th amendment as its opponents have charged. He also expressed concern about overturning a measure that passed with the support of 58% of voters.
By Any Means Necessary, one of the plaintiffs in the case, is filing an appeal and vowing to fight all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
