This removal of the BOX is for federal jobs. Private sector is different.
I foresee lawsuits coming because of this. Have many of us in the military know of someone that has a misdemeanor larceny or something along those lines? They are in the military, and have a Top Secret SCI clearance. SO a new executive order that prevents federal agencies from making job-applicants reveal they have a criminal record as part of his overall criminal justice reform is just plain stupid. Hello just look at single source background checks of his or her criminal and credit histories to ensure that all federal employees are “reliable, trustworthy, of good conduct and character, and loyal to the United States.
But this comes down to more of a misdemeanor vs felony. Now how many criminals does that cover?
So you have a person that has a Felony, you think he will get a federal job? So how does this help those PEOPLE?? Not one bit!!
So way is this Executive Order such a big deal then?? Votes and pulling more votes? Why would the DNC need more votes?? Don't they get the Felony Vote already?? Oh yeah a person with a felony can't vote. So then what is the big deal??
Every Federal Job falls into one of three categories; Non-Sensitive Positions, Public Trust Positions and National Security Positions. Each of these positions requires some level of background investigation. So what gives with this Executive Order? I foresee lawsuits coming of this Executive Order. Can you say ACLU, NCAAP and other going after Civil Rights violations.
So on a sideline note... maybe this is why POTUS issued this new EO??!!
