School Choice, Not an Echo: After the Supreme Court's decision, the future of the movement.
For more than a dozen years, Clint Bolick of the Institute for Justice had dreamed of the day the Supreme Court would hand down a blockbuster verdict on school choice.

Simmons-Harris, Bolick found himself in the shower trying to memorize a short speech -- acknowledging defeat.
"I just wanted to be prepared," he says. As it turned out, Bolick didn't need the concession speech: In a 5-4 decision, the Court delivered a broad ruling, written by Chief Justice William Rehnquist, saying that school choice is constitutional.
