the USSC is very unlikely to hear this case.

maybe you ought to do soem reading yourself. The USSC granted cert. in this case and oral argument was heard on April 22. Decision is pending.

Given the precedents cited and the given laws, the USSC is very unlikely to hear this case.

WTF are you talking about? They already did.

Duh.

My belief is that her ruling was actually the conservative one, saying that local govt has the right to change the rules without legal penalty. She didnt comment on the issues. Now it will go to the SC and we shall see what they see. There is no reason to believe from record that she doesnt know the difference between quotas and adfirmative action. This case sort of is a one off based on other issues or at least thats the way she saw it.
