I'll be the first to admit that a movement to constitutionally enshrine affirmative-action protections in the U.S. in this era is, to put it mildly, an extremely long shot.
But sitting around and hoping that the Supreme Court will one day swing back to a majority that might reinstate these protections isn't much of a plan.
And worse, it gives us the luxury to imagine we need do nothing but wait for time to fix all problems.
It doesn't work like that.
