WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Joe Biden, a senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee issued the following statement:
"The Supreme Court's ruling today in the University of Michigan affirmative action cases is a victory for all Americans. The Court heard the call of America's educators, corporate leaders, as well as the military's top-brass, and delivered an important message - namely that diversity in our public institutions makes America a better and stronger nation. These programs, which advance racial equality and enrich the nation's classrooms, deserve our full support."
