I hate to disagree,but if this goes to the ninth circuit,it's all over.Not only will it slam the electorate once again it will probably be enhanced with affirmative action.The court has to find a reason to trash the voters,total civil rights is the only fork in the road,well its not exactly a fork ,more like a hard left turn.
