John Doe comes to the Mainland Schools

The decision is here. I've been meaning to ask some Dems, members of the Congressional Black Caucus in particular, but also the junior Senator from New York, their views on John Doe v Kamehameha Schools and the issue of jurisdiction. I appear to have lost my only unions-good-tribes-bad commenter (the CA-37 post), but the capacity to create substantive difference(s) in policy, for (Bishop Trust) private school selection, for public school selection, and for variances from the NLRB (federal) or subordinate (state) labor laws, arises from jurisdiction. White-on-Black discrimination no longer creates a capacity to create a remedy, at least for children in grades K-12.

I'm certain the Bishop Estates Trust, now called Kamehameha Schools, were correct to pay off the non-Hawai'ian who wanted to steal a place at the King Kamehameha School in Honolulu, and stop at the the loss at the 9th Circuit. They saved the 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 cohorts of Hawai'ian children from a hostile Supreme Court.
