18 The majority argues that this last step of the burden-shifting
analysis regarding pretext can be avoided in disparate impact cases
because the Supreme Court left it out of its restatement of
applicable law in Ricci, 557 U.S. at 578. However, in Ricci, the
Court was quoting the statute in § 2000e-2(k)(1)(a)(i), which
codified the cause of action for disparate impact recognized in
Griggs. That statutory text was enacted in 1991, which suggests
this court was aware of it when the opinion was issued in S.S.
Clerks Union, Local 1066, in 1995.
