From a news article on Adarand in today's Post:

<<In the government brief, Olson argued that eliminating racial discrimination and its effects "remains one of the nation's greatest challenges" and that programs designed to achieve that goal met the Supreme Court's 1995 test of a "compelling" government interest.

Quoting from a Supreme Court opinion in another case, Olson said that the compelling government interest was in "assuring that public dollars, drawn from the tax contributions of all citizens, do not serve to finance the evil of private prejudice.">>
