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

a judge to be a danger still could have access to guns.The
Obama administration was starting a process Friday aimed at removing barriers
in health privacy laws that prevent some states from reporting information
to the background check system. The action comes two days after the
Senate rejected a measure that would have required buyers of firearms online
and at gun shows to pass a background check. That's already required
for shoppers at licensed gun dealers.Stung by the defeat, Obama vowed to
keep up the fight for the background check expansion but also to
do what he could through executive action."Even without Congress, my administration
will keep doing everything it can to protect more of our communities,"
Obama said from the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate voted. "We're
going to address the barriers that prevent states from participating in
the existing background check system."Obama also mentioned giving law enforcement
