Attorneys general across the country are fighting back against new Obama administration guidelines on businesses using criminal background checks for job applicants and two federal lawsuits that followed, calling both "a quintessential example of gross federal overreach."
The nine attorneys general sent the letter Wednesday to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which in April 2012 voted in favor of the new guidelines that warn such checks can discriminate against African-Americans because they being are arrested at a disproportionate rate compared to the rest of the U.S. population.

What’s the big deal. Criminals are running the executive branch of the government already.

Invasion of privacy is only ok when the Federal Government does it.
...such checks can discriminate against African-Americans because they being are arrested at a disproportionate rate compared to the rest of the U.S. population.
In Washington, D.C., that's regarded as a perfectly sensible reason to throw out the rule of law.
The feral government has declared its independence from us, the people. I believe the time is at hand to let it go its own vile way.
they are doing a disproortionate amount of crime. there is no racism in actually arresting criminals.

Horrible. This administration is more racist than George Wallace.
Maybe blacks should consider committing fewer rapes, robberies, and beatings...

...and take away one of their cheap sources of entertainment? And don’t you know that its not because they’re committing more crimes; its because the white man is targeting them.../s
Who covers liability for a business who hires a felon, Holder?
What a mess.
Wonder if Dollar General was forced to hire this "gentleman" under these directives?
I'm sure that both victims being White is just a coincidence.
Appears that he did a year for a home invasion and rape.
This isn't republican government.
Is there any doubt the institutions which caused this mess and others will not call for reforms?
It is time to correct the progressive mistakes than began a hundred years ago.
If we are to possibly reclaim our freedoms, the people and states must demand an Article V amendment convention. Start with repeal of the 17th Amendment and go from there.
These changes are not rooted in the progressive movement, they’re rooted in the interminable FDR administrations, which brought the first wave of Marxists and Stalinists into a newly vastly expanded bureaucratic state. FDR’s inability to walk or stand without crutches or help was suppressed by the first generation of partisan media shills.

We are getting a Mugabe-Centric gov’t in DC run by affirmative action idiots Obama and Holder
The progressive amendments enabled FDR. Without them, no New Deal, no Great Society, no fundamental transformation.
My husband and I hired an ex-con. He was a tall, handsome, black fellow who thought nothing of using our
company cell phone, company truck, and gas credit card for his own personal business.
In addition, he was haughty, rude, and uncooperative.
When we got the bills and compared them to those of our former driver, we told his PO and fired him.
I know that one man does not statistics make, but we were definitely “once bitten, twice shy.”
No one called us for a reference. If he applied somewhere else, he was smart enough to leave us off his résumé.
I’ll link you to something that proves you’re right...
Although I am no fan of George Wallace I must observe that George Wallace was open and honest about his racism. Obama is not open, is not honest and Obama is a racist but denies it.
