What does this mean? Remanded back to the ultra-leftist Circuit judge who first rejected the claims? Or does the ruling order they must get their promitions? this is a BIG DEAL. The left in CT is saying if the case is sent back, the firefighter will likely never get their promotions, and they will hold up the process forever.
Usually "remand" is a housecleaning measure. The Second Circuit will remand this case to the District Court which originally heard the case. That court will hear any new motions in light of this decision. For example, expect these firefighters to request a writ of mandamus to force the certifying of that test and the granting of their promotions (maybe even back pay).
