Breaking news: Ninth Circuit denies activists' attempt to overturn Proposition 209

May 12, 2012 | By JOSHUA THOMPSON

It’s rare on the Liberty Blog that we bring you news on the weekend, but we just received word that the Ninth Circuit has denied the petition for rehearing en banc in Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action v. Brown.  Once again, Proposition 209 is safe from the activists who want to see racial preferences reinjected into the UC system.  The case, however, is not over yet.  BAMN is sure to file a petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court.  Rest assured, PLF will continue to defend Proposition 209 and equality under the law the whole way.  More analysis to come on Monday.
