[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coalition for TJ got crushed.  Judge canceled the trial scheduled for next week.  [/quote]

Bad take. Judge, who previously declined to dismiss the case, said he can rule from the bench because the material facts are not in dispute.

And some of those facts are anything but favorable to FCPS.

While it's theoretically possible for him to rule for the plaintiffs, I think that it's much more likely that this signals a favorable conclusion for FCPS. Kinda how all those recalls for board members are going. Anybody can sue anybody for anything. You need actual legal grounds to win.[/quote]

Another bad take.

This is a federal lawsuit, not a state-law recall procedure.

If the suit were frivolous, the judge would have granted FCPS's prior motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim.  He did not do so, and that allowed the plaintiffs to go ahead and obtain discovery in the case, some of which indicates that FCPS's intentions were race-driven.

What the judge did earlier this week is indicate that he's prepared to rule on motions for summary judgment, because the key facts are evident, and there's no need to convene a jury to resolve disputed facts.  He may rule for the plaintiffs, or he may rule for FCPS, but the fact that he's going to issue an opinion in the first instance actually expedites the inevitable appeals that will be taken here.  In fact, there's a reasonably good chance it may make its way to the Supreme Court, and then Justices Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor will be the only ones defending what FCPS has done.  [/quote]
This whole case is huge nothingburger.  There is no evidence that the policy was intended to discriminate against Asians.  Supreme Court?  LOL!!!  What point of law would they need to interpret?[/quote]

+1 I know, these people have delusions of grandeur.[/quote]
