Obama Lawlessness Spreads To Supreme Court

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Racial Politics: Obama race-mongers first mugged mortgage bankers, then went gunning for car lenders. Now they're trying to block the Supreme Court from taking away their main weapon: disparate impact.

 

For the second time in 12 months, the administration has sabotaged a Supreme Court case challenging its disparate-impact discrimination claims, which rely on statistics rather than actual acts of racism to "prove" discrimination in housing and lending.

 

Its diversity police have been using the dubious civil rights theory as a cudgel to shake down lenders for billions in race-bias settlements.

 

Late last year, the Justice Department settled a case in Minnesota that threatened disparate impact rather than let the high court decide the issue. Attorney General Eric Holder sent aides to St. Paul to pressure the petitioner there to drop the case.

 

When another Supreme Court housing case earlier this year challenged disparate impact, the administration went into overdrive to derail it as well.
