Fearful of a presidential veto if it stopped the FAA’s race-based hiring scheme, Congress on July 13 cut a deal allowing the FAA to hire half of all new controllers based on race. President Obama signed the legislation on July 15.

Wow, looks like the Republican controlled Congress caved on an issue they probably would have won.
