That's my understanding as well, based on my very quick reding of summaries of the opinion. This has been pretty big news in CT, so I'm going to try to read the opinion a bit further.
This has been a pretty big story in CT, and New Haven has had its share of problems over the years, so there will probably be quite a bit of talk about it locally.
There's probably also going to be a whole bunch out there as well about the fact that they're overruling Sotomayor (she was in the majority in the court of appeals decision).
