I’m not surprised—Edward Blum also helped spearhead (along with others) Shelby County v. Holder in 2013 after not winning in 2009 for some utility district IIRC. He’s behind “Students for Fair Admissions.” He lost in 2016 in Abigail Fisher v. UT Austin IIRC, so 7 years later he’s trying again with Harvard and a FAR more conservative court, even when Scalia was still alive.
