"Are you suggesting, my friend, that this ruling will create a an atmosphere for greater "success" in desegregation???"

No...I'm not saying that....I flatly don't know. I DO know that after all these years of having "Brown v. BOE" in place, there were still ways around it, and implementation was costing lots of $$$ and getting very mixed results.
You oughta know that *I* sure do want to see discrimination reduced and fairness made 'fair' for everyone....I just am finding it harder to be sure what IS fair as society changes these days. NO law seems to cover all the bases. I'm not happy with what the obviously newly moved-to-the-right court has done, but I see what gave 'em the opening.

Maybe in 18 months we can take another run at crafting better rules.
