School Race Cases

From How Appealing:

"And finally, "SCOTUSblog" reports that "Chief announces schools cases. Decided jointly. Plans reversed. 5-4, Kennedy concurs in judgment." Denniston's post on the decision is titled "Court strikes down school integration plans." Therein, he writes that "Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., wrote the majority opinion in the combined cases. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy did not join all of the majority opinion, but joined in the result." In early news coverage, The Associated Press reports that "Supreme Court Rejects School Race Plans." You can access the decision in Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District, No. 05-908, decided together with Meredith v. Jefferson County Bd. of Ed., No. 05-915, at this link."
