Was the University of California Board of Regents justified in ending affirmative action preferences for admissions?

Article Abstract:

The governor of California believes the University of California Board of Regents was justified in ending affirmative action because it is a form of racial discrimination and is unconstitutional. He says admission to UC campuses should not be based on quotas. A past chairman of the UC Board of Regents counters that a proposed ballot measure, the California Civil Rights Initiative based on shared governance, should have been submitted to voters before the regents decided to end affirmative action.

Should peremptory challenges be abolished?

Article Abstract:

The ability of attorneys to bar certain people from being included on juries, known as peremptory challenge, has drawn criticism since the O.J. Simpson trial. Some say preemptory challenges should be banned, because they allow attorney's too much influence over jury selection and can bias a case before it even starts. Others point out that peremptory challenges used to prevent extremists who would bias a jury, or who are not likely to objectively judge a case, from being jury members.
