Exactly. The Supreme Court has a definite appetite for putting a hurt on affirmative action, but this isn’t really an affirmative action case in the same sense as Harvard or UNC.

Dear TJHSST Applicants and Parents/Guardians,
We are reaching out, as promised, to update you on the ongoing legal situation regarding the admissions process for Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST).
Today, a federal appeals court granted a stay, or a suspension, of the district court’s ruling on February 25. That ruling required the Fairfax County School Board to stop using its new admissions process for TJHSST.
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals order now allows the school division to continue with the current application process to select the Class of 2026 this spring. For the 2,500+ students in this application pool, this means the process will now continue. Any adjustments to the original timeline will be minor and will be shared with you well in advance. We will provide more information in coming weeks, along with a specific release date.
Today’s decision is separate from the School Board’s appeal. The appeal will be heard by the Fourth Circuit later this year. The appeal process will not impact applicants who are currently going through the admissions process.
We know this has added to an already stressful process and we appreciate your patience. We will continue to focus on supporting our students through this process.
We believe that our current application process will eventually be proven to meet all legal requirements. We are committed to keeping you up to date on the process and doing all that we can to keep to our original admissions timeline.
We will reach out again when there are any new updates to share. Thank you for your continued understanding.
If they just switched to a random lottery they could end all these court proceedings and move on.
Why would that be better? Because it would make you happy?
There should be more than that.
Possibly because a court has already determined that the existing application process is racist.
A higher court has issued an opinion that strongly suggests that it is not - and deeply criticized the lack of sourcing in the opinion that it was.
That’s not accurate. A concurring opinion stated that. A dissenting opinion disagreed. This was a stay order considering multiple factors, not just likelihood of success on the merits.
Read the opinion. Heytens put Hilton over his knee and proved to Hilton why he’s been stuck in District Court for almost 40 years.
Time will tell.
It has. For forty years.

Dissents are interesting reads but they're not statements of the law. They're just interesting reads.
Stick with the concurrence.
A formal opinion would not be issued in the case of a stay order like this. Heytens’ concurrence in this instance can be treated as an evaluation of many of the arguments of both parties as well as the original ruling.
Yes, it’s pretty much game over for the district court ruling.
