1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Law Podcast. I'm June Grosso. Every 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: day we bring you insight and analysis into the most 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: important legal news of the day. You can find more 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: episodes of the Bloomberg Law Podcast on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,799 Speaker 1: and on Bloomberg dot com Slash podcasts. Harvard University is 6 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: in a Boston federal court defending itself against claims of 7 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: racial bias in admitting Asian American students. Speaking with Bloomberg 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: and Ivy, founder of Ivy Consulting, explained the importance of 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: the case. Affirmative action has been upheld as latest two 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen, but that was when Justice Kennedy was 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: still the swing vote, and of course he's been replaced 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 1: by Justice Kavanaugh, so the admissions landscape could look very 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: different depending on how this case turns out. Joining me 14 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: is the Least Body professor at Rutgers University Law School 15 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: and founder and executive director of the Inclusion Project at least. 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: The suit was brought by a group opposing affirmative action 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: called Students for Fair Admissions. Explain their claims about Harvard 18 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: engaging in racial balancing of Asian Americans well. Their claim 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: is that Harvard sets a cap on the number of 20 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: Asian Americans who are admitted to the university. UM. That 21 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: claim is going to have to be sorted out by 22 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: the District Court. We know that Asian Americans have been 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: admitted UM an increasing percentage number of Asian Americans have 24 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: been admitted over the last eight years or so. Two 25 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: they're now of the admitted class UM. So their their 26 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: claim is that, uh, there's a limit that has been 27 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: set UM. If that is in fact true, that is unlawful. 28 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: And as I said, the district cord is going to 29 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: have to sort that out. But I think it's important 30 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: to understand what this case is really about and the 31 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: significance of the case. Uh. What the plainists are arguing 32 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: for is for colleges essentially around the country of this 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: case cost of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court 34 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: where to strike down affirmative action. Their claim that that 35 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: colleges around the country should not be able to consider 36 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: race and they not. They should also not, uh the 37 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: they should not have a process in which admissions officers 38 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: are aware of or can even learn the race or 39 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: ethnicity of a particular applicant. So this is a very 40 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: extreme case. It goes against settled law. But the goal 41 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: here is clearly to overturn that law. And let's put 42 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: the suit into even a little more context. Affirmative action 43 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: has been under assault, it seems like since it first began, 44 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: and it's often on the verge of being affirmed by 45 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court by a slight vote. As we know 46 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: that Justice Kenny was the swing vote. So you put 47 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: it into context of the various cases at the Supreme 48 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Court on affirmative action. Sure so, Um, we can start 49 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: by looking at the case the Bockey decision, which essentially 50 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: held that quote as the use of quotas and admissions 51 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: is unconstitutional. Um by Justice Powell, who was who was 52 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: sort of the Justice Kennedy of his day, concluded that 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: race could be considered as one of many different factors 54 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: in the comprehensive admissions process, and he pointed to Harvard 55 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: as the model for how such an admissions process could 56 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: be implemented. Um. Twenty five years later, the Court in 57 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: two thousand three upheld again the use of race in 58 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: admissions as one of many different factors. That was a 59 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: caste called Rooter versus Bollinger Um. In two thousand sixteen, 60 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: the Court again in Fisher Um concluded that diversity student 61 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: diversity UH was an important constitutional value. Um. It it's 62 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: held uh it hap held the challenge against the University 63 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: of Texas. UM. So we have a pre significant body 64 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: of law in which the Court has found on different 65 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: occasions that uh, the educational benefits of student diversity are 66 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: constitutionally compelling. There is another aspect to that, which is 67 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: he has to make sure that it's being constitutionally implemented. UM. 68 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: But what this case is seeking to do is essentially 69 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: to say that you can't use any race at all 70 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: in any context. UM. You've said that the plaintiffs are 71 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: going back to the basics ensuing Harvard. What do you 72 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: mean by that? Well, as I as I mentioned a 73 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: moment ago Um, the Harvard admissions process was cited by 74 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: just As Powell back in the nineteen of the eight 75 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: Bockey decision as the model example of how race could 76 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: be constitutionally used, and so in in suing Harvard, UM, essentially, 77 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: the plaintiffs are are pointing to our are trying to 78 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: overturn a plan that has been cited in various contexts 79 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: by the Court as being as being a model plan. UM. 80 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: Harvard also is going to attract a lot of attention. 81 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: Harvard is defended in a case is going to attract 82 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: a lot of attention, UM, because it does set the 83 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: standard for how admissions is done. And so by suing 84 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: Harvard UM, the plainests are going after a very big fish. 85 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: And we also have the danger that UH if the 86 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: Harvard UM case UH is successful, that it could have 87 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: an enormous chilling effect around the country UH in university 88 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: admissions in terms of the consideration of race UM. And 89 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: so it's it's a very deliberate effort UH by this outfit, 90 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: which is run by um Ed Bloom, who is responsible 91 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: for the earlier challenges against the University of Texas that 92 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: I mentioned. He's also someone who brought the case challenging 93 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: the voting rights back that gutted protections from minority voters. UM. 94 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: This is not a person who cares about creating opportunities 95 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: for people of color around the country. The Justice Department's 96 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: position has changed from the Obama administration to the Trump administration. 97 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: What effect does the Justice Department have in this area? UM, 98 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: Sorry I didn't hear. I didn't under the question. The 99 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: Justice Department has taken a position in this case that 100 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: is different from the position that the Obama administration took. 101 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: What effect does it have when the Justice Department weighs 102 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: in that way? Oh? Sure so, UM. The the Justice 103 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: Department rescinded certain UM regulations that UH that UH laid 104 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: out how race could be constitutionally considered. The Justice Department 105 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: does not have the power to change the law. The 106 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: law is established by the U. S. Supreme Court. UM. 107 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: Of course, it does have the chilling effect when the 108 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: United States Justice Department weighs in UM in ways that 109 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: are adverse to affirmative action UM. But the law as 110 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: it currently stands UH clearly indicates that UM, a comprehensive 111 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 1: admissions process that includes race of one of many different 112 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: factors is constitutional. And the question is, in that kind 113 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: of admissions process where admissions officers do look at so 114 00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: many different aspects an applicants identity, should race UH also 115 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: be included. And we are in a context, We've been 116 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: listening to that context for four hundred years where race 117 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: is very much a reality. And so to say that 118 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: in that context you can't take a considerative consideration of race, 119 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: all right, at least we'll have to leave it there. 120 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: But the case will be going on and we'll keep 121 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: following it. Lease Body, professor at Rutgers University Law School. 122 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: In August, President Trump's lead attorney, Rudy Giuliani discussed the 123 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: Mueller investigation on Fox News, talking about how it would 124 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: play in the mid terms. Well, I think if it 125 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: isn't over by September, then then we have a very 126 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: very serious um violation of the Just Department rules that 127 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be conducting one of these investigations, uh in 128 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: the sixty day period. Now it's mid October, there are 129 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: just three weeks until the mid terms, and the Mueller 130 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: investigation is still going strong. Joining me is William Banks, 131 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: professor at Syracuse Universe State Law School. Bill Rudy Giuliani 132 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: predicted the end of the Muller investigation or threatened about 133 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: it time and time again. But Paul Maniford is now 134 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: cooperating with Mueller. Is that an indication that the investigation 135 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: is not coming to a conclusion anytime soon? I think 136 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: it's sure is you know mr has made a number 137 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: of claims and predictions that haven't turned out to be true. 138 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: There are no Justice Department rules that limit the investigation, 139 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: and the tendency of an election, and as we've discussed 140 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: many times, Mr Muller is simply going about his business 141 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: UH day by day and UH indictment by indictment and 142 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: letting the letting the facts and law lead them to 143 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: where they need to go. They have manifort to work 144 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: with here, and they're still awaiting sentencing and outcome on 145 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: some of the other indictments have been brought between the 146 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: Russians and others. According to Political Trump slam the Mueller 147 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: quote witch hunt on Twitter nearly fifty times since July fourth. 148 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: He manages is campaign rallies, Yet it seems to be 149 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: something that both Republicans and Democrats are avoiding talking about 150 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: as the campaign for the mid terms. Why that's seeming 151 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: disconnect Well, I think you know, there's a it's a 152 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: relatively quiet time now. The investigation, the Mueller's team is 153 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: is working to see what they can get from Manaford 154 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: and others to building case either on the instruction of 155 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: justice or on the conspiracy colusion side of things. And 156 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: there's simply not much to talk about. And obviously we've 157 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: had plenty of other things to talk about concerning partisan 158 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: politics with having on the nation and lots of other 159 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: issues pending the election. But this this thing is simply 160 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: going on. It has its own momentum, uh, and it's 161 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: not dependent on November six or any other magic date. 162 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: One thing that there is to talk about is that 163 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: CNN's reporting that Trump's lawyers are providing in the process 164 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: of providing written answers to a first round of questions 165 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: and several questions about potential collusion. How does it advance 166 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: Mueller's investigation to have written answers drafted by Trump's attorneys, 167 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: Probably not very much. Uh. You know, this is a 168 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: game that the president's lawyers have been playing with the 169 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: Mueller team from the beginning. The personalities of changed, the 170 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: presidents brought in new lawyers, and some lawyers have left. 171 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: There's now, you know, the White House counsels on his 172 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: way out and the presidents interviewing replacements for Don McGahn, 173 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: which I think we'll see yet more dynamics and uh 174 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: in the in the effort to either respond to or 175 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: not respond to Mueller's request for an interview of Trump. 176 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: This is going to primarily go to the possibility of 177 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: obstruction determinations, of course, but it could be important for 178 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: other aspects of the investigation as well. Turning out to 179 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: the White House Counsel's office, we know that Council Don 180 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: McGann is leaving his position, and he was regarded by 181 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: some as a restraining influence on Trump. The Washington Post 182 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: is reporting that Trump has chosen a conservative Catholic activists 183 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: and Washington lawyer Pat Chipoloney as his next White House 184 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: Council He's already been advising the president's personal lawyers on 185 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: Trump reportedly, what will this change mean in the approach 186 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: to Mueller. Well, I don't know much about Shibloney, but 187 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: I believe that it's going to, you know, play to 188 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: the sort of the hardball side of of dealing with 189 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: the Muller team. I think he'll be pretty tough and 190 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: pretty uh unwilling to cooperate and even to compromise on 191 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: providing materials to the investigators. I think at the same time, 192 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: we have to remember that the White House Council's job 193 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: involves much more than just dealing with the single investigation. 194 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: Mcgon had a very signal role in getting the Kavanaugh 195 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: nomination through the Senate ultimately, and then his legacy, of course, 196 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: in lining up lower court judges that's probably been the 197 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: president's single most important accomplishments so far. Off to see 198 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: whether the tip alone can do as well or whether 199 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: there's someone else in the team that will take over 200 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: that responsibility. Speaking and in the list of we'll have 201 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: to see. Most observers think that we'll see Trump firing 202 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: a G. Jeff Sessions after the mid terms, and the 203 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: Washington Post reported that Trump had talked to sessions chief 204 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: of staff Matt Whittaker about the job, and Trump hasn't 205 00:13:53,679 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: denied that Whittaker has a conservative record and path explain 206 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: what that might be. Well, you know, he's he's going 207 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: to replace Sessions. If he does, he's going to replace 208 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: him with someone conservative, to be sure, and looking for 209 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: someone with a lower profile, as would be the case here, 210 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: might serve his interest in uh, you know, not paying 211 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: much attention to the uh, the office of the Attorney General, 212 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: perhaps going beyond the Attorney General to try to interfere 213 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: again and investigation uh and dismissing Mueller. We'll see if 214 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: that might happen. It depends, of course, on what the 215 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: next steps are in the Mueller team. It's sort of 216 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: a cat and mouse game. And Bill just a quickly 217 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: here Whittaker. Would he have to be have a confirmation 218 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: hearing or is he already confirmed by the Senate and 219 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: so could just slide in there? No, he'd have to 220 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: be confirmed separately for this post.
