Whelp. The Supremes had previously made it plain in the obiter dicta of the UNC and Harvard cases of last summer, that the US military service academies were not bound by the same rules as a regular college might be.

That differing, more widespread egalitarian forces are at work when selecting schooling / programs for future officers in the armed forces. [The reason: officers of the US military should be broadly reflective of the backgrounds of the troops serving under them. Makes sense –forma national security / patriotism point of view.]

So the US S.Ct. just told Scott’s and John’s concocted plaintiff group… to pound sand, No TRO / No Injunction / No stays.

The minute order, just entered, then:

23A696 STUDENTS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS V. USMA AT WEST POINT, ET AL.

…The application for writ of injunction pending appeal presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is denied. The record before this Court is underdeveloped….

Not a great day, for the boys.
