Supreme Court Refuses to Take Up TJ Admissions

[Anonymous]

It’s official - the Supreme Court has declined to take up the TJ admissions case. Amazingly, the Court has decided it doesn’t want to become a local school board.

You have to scroll down all the way to the bottom to page 30 of 39 to find Justice Alito's dissent, with which Justice Thomas joined. Notably, Justice Gorsuch had originally indicated that he would grant the vacatur request from a couple of years ago but voted this time around not to hear the case.

It is refreshing that this matter has finally come to an end, and decisively with four conservatives (and all three Trump appointees!) choosing not to hear the case. I only wish that we had an opinion from, say, Roberts or Kavanaugh that explained their decision not to hear it. Would be nice for the Coalition - who can now officially be referred to as a Lost Cause and a failed enterprise - to receive one final rhetorical death blow.

I’m so happy about this.

-Asian mom who was disgusted by the racism on both sides of the arguments.

Now, can we get back to how to make the schools better? Like maybe- better school lunches?

It would be helpful, if parents backed off the teachers and schools. Land the helicopters.

It was too messy factually to ever make a good Supreme Court case. But it helped get Asra Nomani on Fox regularly so maybe that’s all that mattered.

None of this speaks to whether the admissions changes at TJ ultimately strengthen or weaken the school. It’s just an acknowledgement that courts don’t need to substitute their judgment for elected officials simply because they might have made a different policy decision. To the extent it reflects some judicial restraint from the current, activist Court that is a good thing.

FYI— although Gorsuch didn’t join Alito’s dissent you can’t really assume he voted against hearing the case. We know at least six justices voted against hearing the case and Alito voted to hear it, but we don’t know if there were 1,2, or 3 justices voting to hear it.

I think it's a reasonable assumption in a case like this one that Gorsuch either would have filed his own dissent or joined Alito's if he voted to hear the case.

It's also not like there was a case here. Seriously, race-blind admissions are precisely that.

Now, all they have to do with remove the experience factors and young scholars bump.

- except: you must admit the School Board’s implementation of “experience factors” is a thinly-veiled way to keep admissions race-based, in violation of Supreme Court precedent.

Putting lip-stick on the racist pig of TJ admissions does not change it into anything other than a racist pig.

DP. No it doesn't. It is neither lipstick nor a way to keep admissions race-based.

The biggest "winners" in this are the Langley, McLean, Oakton, and Chantilly pyramids, which the high-achieving families now seek out more than ever since the admissions process has been revamped to be more subjective and less predictable.

Even the conservative SCOTUS sees through the BS propaganda.

Even this Supreme Court (the one that just overturned affirmative action) didn’t think this was worth taking. That’s the end of Azra and Harry Jackson’s ridiculous quest. Bye!
