Holding
A final rule eliminating disparate-impact liability under Title VI and restoring an intentional-discrimination standard consistent with Alexander v. Sandoval. Scored as a normative legal instrument for the policy it enacts, the Court applied the 85/15 legal-text weighting because Tier 2 reduces substantially to authenticity of an official Federal Register rule. The rule aligns strongly with equal protection applied equally (Article III) and the limits of federal administrative power (Article XII). Final score 80 (Tier 1 78, Tier 2 88) — America First. No Automatic Fail.
It is the judgment of this Court that Opinion No. 2026-0917 is hereby entered into the record, in accordance with the America First Constitutional Standard. The score stands. The reasoning is published. The record is public.
