DETROIT (AP) — A federal judge in Detroit has heard arguments for and against a 2006 law dealing with some affirmative action programs in Michigan.
But U.S. District Court Judge David Lawson made no immediate decision or say when he would rule on motions during a 90-minute hearing Wednesday in a packed courtroom.
Opponents and supporters of the voter-approved Proposal 2 have been arguing about whether the ban on race and gender preferences in university admissions and government hiring is constitutional.
The law has been challenged by several groups including the NAACP, the American Civil Liberties Union and By Any Means Necessary.
