The Supreme Court overturned the long-standing precedent that has benefited Black and Latino students in higher education by saying it’s unlawful for colleges and universities to take race into consideration as a specific factor for admissions. CNN Senior Supreme Court Analyst Joan Biskupic was in the courtroom when the opinions were read. She tells AC360 what the mood was like among the justices and if there was any tension between them. Plus, the U.S. Coast Guard says “presumed human remains” were found with the debris and evidence that was recovered from the sea floor where the wreckage of the Titan submersible was found. CNN Correspondent Paula Newton joins AC360 to give an update on how much of the sub has been recovered and what’s next with the investigation.
