π₯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 isπ
"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!
