Mixed Record. See the latest Affirmative Action (both affirmed and rejected).

Thurgood Marshell said the court had a clear tendency towards selective amnesia on such matters. It has had a uniquely mixed record, save making it clear that quotas are out, but beyond that the court has been somewhat vague with the Right Wingers making sure to show no guidelines for advocates and judicial activist! All in all, the Republican Court in my opinion is against it!

The Bakke decision, which limited affirmative action, is a typical example of how the Court has struggled and not written clear definite guidelines. Therefore, d is the correct answer.

definitely has given a mixed response. this is due to not only different social climates, but other litigating factors attached to those cases presented the court
