U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday called for a response from a Virginia school

[Anonymous]

"U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday called for a response from a Virginia school system regarding a controversial admissions policy at a highly selective high school and efforts by a coalition of parents to overturn it.

Roberts was responding to an emergency application from the group Coalition For TJ to vacate a stay pending an appeal filed by the Fairfax County Public Schools to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

With Roberts’ action, the school board has until Wednesday to present its response. The chief justice would then decide on the application, which includes referring the case to the full court.

“We’re very happy to see that he called for a response from the school board,” said Glenn E. Roper, an attorney representing Coalition for TJ, the group challenging the policy. “We hope the court will take our application seriously and hopefully grant it so that the discriminatory policy won’t be enforced for this application season.”

Does this not portend that, one way or the other, the racially motivated change in the TJ admission policy is eventually going to be invalidated by the Supreme Court? It’s a conservative court and, while Roberts sometimes sides with the liberals, the fact that he got the matter on the “shadow docket” seems to suggest he has some sympathy for the plaintiffs.

Here's what the 'shadow docket' is and how the Supreme Court uses it:

The appeals hasn’t even ruled yet. No way the Supreme Court takes this stupid case.

The fact that he got the stay application is just a reflection that he is assigned to applications from the 4th circuit.

The fact that he asked for a response is an indication that someone on the court is taking the application seriously but doesn’t necessarily indicate which way they will break on the stay.

However, most of these (99%?) emergency applications are rejected summarily so the fact that this case (vacating stay) is going to be reviewed is a sign.

The partisan hacks the GOP has appointed to the court love this kind of thing.

Sure, only the justices on the Supreme Court appointed by the GOP are partisan...

They seem to have more justices with spouses trying to overthrow the government.

It's well known that Roberts takes a dim view on Affirmative Action and other systemic racist policies. He famously said "“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

It's no great surprise, therefore, that Roberts was responsive to this emergency application.

As stated previously, the rushed and not well thought out changes to TJ's admission system rolled out by the school board of FCPS may lead to permanent end of all affirmative action plans in public K to 12 schools in the entire country. All thanks to school board members who acted immaturely and opportunistically without any regard to Asian American community.

Are these legal battles the best use of fcps tax dollars? Maybe if they spent more money on other aap programs people wouldn’t need to clamor so hard to get into the scarce resource that’s TJ

Just get rid of all race on apps

I think PP meant block out all information that would indicate race of the applicant such as name, school name etc.
