Does anyone know whether any arms of the federal government reacted to Bolling
v. Sharpe by altering any existing federal laws/regulations/practices in view
of the new rule that equal protection would be applied against the federal
government?  (Was there a meeting in the Justice Department where somebody
said "We need to review general compliance with this new doctrine"?)  Or did
people simply assume that existing federal practices would, by and large, be
acceptable if subjected to equal protection challenge?

Any insights or references to writing on this topic would be much appreciated.
