Court ruling eases pressure on busing curbs
Washington AP report says the U.S. 4th Circuit reversal of Merhige’s Richmond busing order eases push for court-curbing legislation and strengthens antibusing amendments. It says the decision questions the authority to force regional consolidation and may blunt moves toward a constitutional ban on court-ordered desegregation. DOJ and local officials welcome the ruling.
