James Damore hires civil rights lawyer Harmeet Dhillon

The engineer who was fired by Google after he criticized the company’s diversity policies for ignoring differences between the sexes hired civil rights lawyer Harmeet Dhillon, who was widely reported months ago to be a contender for a top job in the U.S. Justice Department.

Dhillon confirmed Wednesday that she’s representing James Damore, who has said he plans to sue his ex-employer over his firing. He set off a firestorm this month with a 10-page memo blasting Google’s "left bias" for creating a "politically correct monoculture."

"We are also engaging with several other Google employees or former employees who have suffered adverse employment actions at Google," Dhillon said in a statement. "We are exploring all potential legal avenues for these clients, and gathering facts about working conditions at Google, particularly for those whose views are inconsistent with Google’s political orthodoxy."

#4  'several other Google employees' = class action lawsuit? Not that it'd make much of a difference - I think Google has every incentive to settle before the discovery phase.

#3  Google ought to sued for trying to screw with the elections as well as censorship of the web based on political beliefs.

#1  Punitive damages. Google has deep, deep pockets so the punitive damages must be at least a billion for the punishment to hurt the way it must. Gotta make it hurt.
