WSJ - Race and the Roberts Court
Liberals were already wailing about a radical turn in Supreme Court jurisprudence, and yesterday’s decisions really brought out the sackcloth and outrage. But the end of this first full term of the John Roberts-Samuel Alito Court presented no sweeping departures, instead hewing to the incremental conservative judging that was its hallmark this year.
The most contentious opinion determined that programs engineering the racial composition of school districts in Seattle and Louisville were unconstitutional. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the 5-4 majority, expressed the bedrock principle in a single sentence: “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” But the majority was in effect only a plurality. Anthony Kennedy concurred but wrote his own, more narrow opinion that said schools can be “race-conscious,” though race can’t be the only or controlling factor.
