Court says Civil rights advocates must prove racial bias
The Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 that challengers must prove government actions are motivated by racial bias, not just have a discriminatory impact. It upheld the D C police recruitment test but found no evidence of intentional bias. The decision narrows proof needed for antidiscrimination claims and could affect housing cases. The court also deemed federal installations do not need state permits to discharge pollutants. It will hold a Wednesday session to announce opinions amid a 76-case docket. Ralph Nader may sue Allegheny Airlines for bumping him from a flight over overbooking.
