d it pursued damages in the case.But, according
to the report, the Justice Department stayed away from that case in
order to get the city to drop an appeal to the Supreme
Court on another matter. The department was allegedly concerned that the
high court, in the course of reviewing that case, would strike down
a major element of civil rights enforcement.The case the Justice Department
was allegedly concerned about was St. Paul's appeal on a case in
which property owners said the city made extraordinary efforts, through
strict code enforcement, to condemn their properties. The owners said reducing
the amount of affordable housing for minorities violated the federal Fair
Housing Act -- by what is known as "disparate impact."Perez appeared to
think the Supreme Court overturning the case would have been a severe
blow to civil rights enforcement, the report concluded.The "disparate impact"
provision, which the report described as legally questionable, prohibits
housing policies that end up discriminating against certain groups even
if those policies are not blatantly discriminatory.Perez acknowledged Thursday
that he thought that case "was a poor vehicle for the Supreme
Court to address the broad issue."Asked why he intervened, he said "The
Department of Justice is really a guardian of the Fair Housing Act."Alexander
retorted: "Well, the Department of Justice is a guardian of taxpayers as
well."But Perez noted that the value of a losing case
President Obama was briefed for an hour Friday morning on the developments
in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation.Vice President Joe Biden also
attended the briefing in the White House Situation Room. The briefing was
led by Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller.Secretary
of State John Kerry, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and CIA
director John Brennan participated in the briefing via video conference.The
bombing suspects were identified by law enforcement officials as brothers
from a Russian region near Chechnya. One suspect is dead and a
second remains at large.Thousands of officers have swarmed the streets in
a manhunt that all but paralyzed the Boston area.
