nment Accountability Office found
that although the number of mental health records available to the background
check system increased 800 percent since 2004, some states said they were
not sharing mental health information because of concerns about restrictions
under HIPAA privacy law. Obama is interested in a change that would
specifically allow disclosure of mental health records for the system, and
he wants to increase financial incentives for states to contribute the information.In
the Virginia Tech rampage, student Seung-Hui Cho shot 32 people to death
and committed suicide. He was able to buy two guns even though
he had been ruled a danger to himself during a court hearing
in 2005 and was ordered to undergo outpatient mental health treatment.Authorities
have not described a possible motive or released details of any mental
health condition that might explain why Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza killed
20 children and six adults before killing himself. The rifle he used

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
