I voted yes on the Garrett of NJ Amendment to #HR4660, which prohibits funding in the bill from being used by the Department of Justice to pursue litigation for violations of the Fair Housing Act based on disparate impact (i.e., practices that statistically have different results among different groups of people, even if there is no intent to improperly discriminate). Rather than simply prohibiting intentional discrimination based on certain protected traits, the new February 2013 rule applying the disparate impact doctrine effectively mandates equalized outcomes for everyone, which ironically means the rule itself compels intentional discrimination. The amendment was agreed to 216-190.
