Some Asian American students think their college admissions prospects have improved thanks to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn affirmative action.

Lawmakers, legal experts, presidential candidates past and present and others are reacting on Thursday to a landmark ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court setting new limits on the use of affirmative action in college and university admissions. In a speech from the White House, President Joe Biden tore into the decision, casting it as a step backward. The court held, in a 6-3 opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina's admissions programs violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
