More erosion of our freedom by leftist tyranny. ‘ He is promising a huge increase in prosecution of alleged hate crimes. He vows to use “disparate impact theory” to pursue discrimination cases where there is no intent to discriminate but a difference in results, such as in test scores or mortgage lending, that Perez wants to change. He is even considering a crackdown on Web sites on the theory that the Internet is a “public accommodation” as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act.’- Washington Examiner

“As if to prove Driscoll’s point, Perez sometimes speaks emotionally about the vast scope of his responsibility. The job of the Civil Rights Division, he says, is to bring light to Americans “living in the shadows.” There are “our Muslim-American brothers and sisters subject to post-9/11 backlash” and “communities of color disproportionately affected by the subprime meltdown,” and “LGBT brothers and sisters … forced to confront discrimination” and “all too many children lacking quality education.” And many, many more.

That’s a very big portfolio, especially when not all the problems in the world can be solved by a federal lawsuit. To Driscoll, the new Civil Rights Division is acting “more like a government-funded version of an advocacy group such as the ACLU or the NAACP Legal Defense Fund than like government lawyers who apply the facts to the law.” At some point in the future, Perez’s critics believe, Congress and the courts will rein in the division for overreaching and bringing unwarranted cases, as happened during the Clinton years.”
