“As chief of the Civil Rights Division since 2009, Mr. Perez pioneered the use of this “disparate impact” legal theory to extract big-dollar settlements from banks. His Labor nomination is now in jeopardy because in 2012 he arranged a quid pro quo to induce the City of St. Paul, Minnesota to drop its disparate impact case after the Supreme Court had already accepted it.”
