In Other Supreme Court News: Fair-Housing Act Escapes Intact.
The Court said that the Fair Housing Act — a law passed during Lyndon B. Johnson's administration to fight housing discrimination — prohibits discrimination from governments, mortgage lenders, and insurance companies even when it is not intentional. Having to prove intent in housing discrimination cases would have made it much more difficult for such cases to have success.

More liberal crap. But I think the recipe is tht a law causing disparate impact is OK as long as it has some sort of good justification. Whereas the way it really should be is that you can have any zoning you want as long as it isn't something like a "white people only" zone.
