At first I was tempted to say 'oh, okay. now I understand.' But then I thought about it ... isn't probably something like 95% of what DDOT does the same year in and year out?

Right, but it's the 5% that makes the difference. Most of DOJ isn't Civil Rights, but there's a big difference between a, say, the Bush and the Obama DOJ's. Specifically, the difference between a DOJ that feels the disenfranchisement of African Americans is a problem versus one that feels the disenfranchisement of white folks *by* African Americans is a problem.

In other words, 5% isn't trivial in this instance.
