Background check double standard, Seattle doesn't want businesses to discriminate

I saw this on SeattleTimes this morning. They don't want employers to ask about your criminal history or do a background check before you are offered the job and if you do and they have a criminal history and you rescind the job offer you could get fined.

What a bunch of liberal BubblegumS!!! Washington & America is in a sad state of denial that idiots elect idiots to govern the masses!!! They will manage us to death...

But sometimes I wonder if they sit around having a competition to see who can come up with the dumbest, most idiotic idea, and then see if they can get it passed, just for fun.
