πŸ”₯Hot off the presses:

@TheJusticeDept

issued an opinion today explaining that disparate-impact liability under federal employment law is *unconstitutional*. This is an earthquake in federal civil rights law. If right, this is the foundation to overturn that pernicious regime.

he Supreme Court recently explained that we have a "colorblind Constitution." This opinion explains what is needed. First, business necessity is a *low bar* to defend against disparate impact. Second, causality is a *high bar* for plaintiffs. But the third requirement isπŸ‘€

"Third, plaintiffs must establish with particular evidence that there is an available alternative practice that causes less disparate impact and would be equally effective for serving the employer’s valid business purpose." Louisiana v. Callais for employment law. Amazing!

The whole opinion is necessary reading. But I always appreciate a nice summation conclusion. This single paragraph helps to contextualize everything that came before. Read while it's hot!

Kudos to

@ElliotGaiser

and

@joshjcraddock

for putting together this logical, concise, and frankly devastating opinion for defenders of the old, illegal disparate impact regime. Great news for civil rights warrior

@andrealucasEEOC

too!

and Title VII predates ALL of this. It was always illegal to discriminate against white men. The difference is, the government is willing to enforce it now. The disparate impact and h1b scams are coming to an end. Your time as a scammy indian employment hoya lawya is up, Pradeep.

Obama did it multiple times to fuck up the US educational system.

====

2011 Title IX Guidance (Campus Sexual Assault): The influential April 4, 2011, letter was issued by Russlyn Ali, who served as the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education. It instructed colleges and universities on how to handle sexual harassment and violence under Title IX, notably requiring schools to use the "preponderance of evidence" standard in disciplinary hearings.

2014 School Discipline Guidance: The January 8, 2014, joint guidance letter regarding the nondiscriminatory administration of school discipline was authored by Catherine E. Lhamon, who succeeded Ali as Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the Department of Education, and Jocelyn Samuels, the Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice

way back in the day, you could sue the government for equal protection violations if the government took overt action to discriminate.

then, in one or two cases, the courts seemed to hold that if it could be shown that any policy affected a racial group more strongly than it affected whites it could be a violation by the government (ie, disparate impact).

given the vast differences between groups almost all policies affect people differently. so at that point libs were hoping that the constitution required equal outcomes from all government policies. it's a holy grail for them.

as good as this move by Trump is, the next Dem administration will presumably reverse it.
