[font size=5]5 Things To Know About The Woman Whose Case Could End Affirmative Action As We Know It[/font]

...as ProPublica reported in a 2013 examination of Fisher's case, the university felt Fisher's academic record was simply not strong enough. And of all the admitted students who had lower test scores and grades than Fisher, only five were black or Latino -- while 42 were white.

Like many plaintiffs in landmark cases, Fisher was sought out by an activist who wanted to bring a case like hers all the way to the Supreme Court. In her case, it was Edward Blum, whose legal defense fund, the Project on Fair Representation, has challenged multiple race-related policies. ....

Blum shepherded Shelby County v. Holder, the case that gutted the Voting Rights Act, to the nation's highest court in 2013. He is also fighting to end affirmative action at private universities and challenging the constitutional concept of "one person, one vote." ....

...After hearing about her story and deciding she had the right temperament for being in the public eye, Blum persuaded the Fishers to file suit, and recruited lawyers to represent them. The Fishers' legal fees, according to Reuters, have been paid by Blum's conservative backers.
