The Supreme Court heard arguments in the case of a woman who claims she was a victim of reverse discrimination. The key question for the court is whether someone who is not a member of a minority group faces an extra hurdle to prove discrimination.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court seemed likely Wednesday to side with an Ohio woman who claims she suffered sex discrimination from her employer because she is straight.

Marlean Ames has alleged she was wrongly passed over for promotion in favor of a lesbian and then demoted in favor of a gay man.
