With the Chief and Justice Kavanaugh — two justices who often like to soften what some say they see as the conservative majority’s hard edges — joining the opinion in full, this language seems strong. If applied in good faith and with the force the Court obviously intends, it would indeed put an end to racial balancing in admissions.
But that’s a big “if.” It will depend principally on two things: Whether college administrators view their job as obeying the law, or instead continuing to obey the Masters of Woke; and whether the lower courts, when confronted with the inevitable challenges to what will become more elaborately disguised racial balancing schemes, follow the Court’s ruling or instead become inventive in manufacturing ways to subvert it.
