Abstract
The article examines the Supreme Court's inconsistent approach to affirmative action, particularly through the lens of *Metro Broadcasting, Inc. v. FCC*, which upheld the FCC's race-based policies to promote broadcast diversity. While the decision aligns with constitutional values of equality and free speech, the Court's opinions fail to coherently reconcile liberty and equality principles. The article argues for a more integrated framework to address the complexities of affirmative action jurisprudence and its intersection with First Amendment rights.
