I'll consider myself outplayed as I am not going to take the time to research a response that may just end with me saying "I'm wrong" :)
Either way I'm happy with today's ruling and look forward to everyone getting a little more equal treatment under the admissions process.
Not one affected by the restriction on state action in the 14th Amendment.

Yes, it can (this is obvious, since the decision itself explicitly allows the federal government itself use race-based criteria in its own admissions at the schools it runs, notably, the military academies) and it can change the terms of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 so that the interpretation of the 14th Amendment limits on state action that the Supreme Court imported to it due to textual similarity are not imposed on recipients of federal funding.
