  • concluding that arguments \not in the opening brief\ were \forfeited\

  • remanding “arguably forfeited” issue back to the district court since “remand . . . [was] required in any event”
  • extending Ricci’s logic to sex discrimination and concluding that the defendants’ remedial actions vi- olated Title VII because they “were explicitly race- and sex-based”
  • setting forth factors for determining whether municipality established “strong basis in evidence” defense, including whether there is “objectively strong evidence of non-job-relatedness,” which can be demonstrated by less than preponderance of evidence
