Supreme Court slaps down EEOC litigation strategy

The Washington Examiner reports:

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wednesday that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission must make "good faith" efforts to seek reconciliation before it sues a business for discrimination, under Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act. The decision was a strong rebuke to the commission, which had previously asserted that the courts had no jurisdiction over its reconciliation process.

"Congress imposed a mandatory duty on the EEOC to attempt conciliation and made that duty a precondition to filing a lawsuit. Such compulsory prerequisites are routinely enforced by courts in Title VII litigation. And though Congress gave the EEOC wide latitude to choose which 'informal methods' to use, it did not deprive courts of judicially manageable criteria by which to review the conciliation process," the court ruled in the case EEOC v. Mach Mining.

The Obama regime loses another one.
