There are numerous affirmative action claims mentioned in the article presented for discussion. The article makes the claim that race-base affirmative action still faces strong opposition from the public.

Section 1 of the Sherman Act prohibits the formation of a trust with domestic and foreign companies. In addition, it the proposed ...
