Can someone explain why Breyer, who concurs with O'Connor's majority
opinion in Grutter without reservation and who concurs with Justice
Ginsburg's position that race can be used for inclusive purposes on a
different standard than for exclusive purposes, concurs in the outcome
of Graatz?  Moreover, how can he join O'Connor's concurring opinion in
Graatz but not join the opinion of the Court?
I understand everyone in this melange except Breyer.
