TH: Former Attorney General Eric Holder has come out against proposals in Chicago and New Jersey to require fingerprint background checks of drivers for ride-hailing platforms such as Uber and Lyft. Why would President Obama’s onetime top lawman come out against regulation that is supposed to protect the riding public? Credit the intersection of two forces. First, Holder’s tony corporate law firm, Covington & Burling, represents Uber. Also, as Holder sees it, requiring drivers to submit fingerprints may “have a discriminatory impact on communities of color.”
I was surprised to read about Holder’s opposition, as I have trouble seeing Holder as a model for social justice. As deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration, Holder gave a “neutral-leaning to positive” recommendation for the pardon of billionaire Marc Rich, who fled to Switzerland to evade fraud and tax evasion charges. As President Obama’s first attorney general, he was so stingy with the pardon power that political scientist P.S. Ruckman wrote that inmates seeking clemency had “a better chance of being struck by lightning.” MORE
Who is it racist against? Whites or blacks or in betweens or the cat in the hat?
Holder went on to say “those gosh darn fingerprint thingies are the reason so many fine young garfoon Nubians are in the Big House to begin with…”.
Holder needs to be fingerprinted right after his arrest as an accessory to murder in reference to the Fast and Furious fiasco. Then he can be extradited to Mexico to face justice in the deaths those guns are linked to.
But of course, of course, fingerprints are racist, so are photo IDs. So are borders, fences, doors, locks. What’s this caitiff doing these days?
Tricky Dick, I tried to up vote you but, because I must have fat fingers, I accidentally down voted. So…YAH WHAT YOU SAID! EXACTLY!
A filthy fuckkin liar can do nothing other than tell filthy fukkin lies.
Holder will do anything, and everything, to hasten the demise of this country.
izlamo delenda est …
Eric “Cock” Holder is an asshole just like College Transcript Boy.
Hard to tell them apart, that’s why we need fingerprints
No eric, being an armed thug and holding up an ROTC building demanding it be renamed after (spit) Malcolm X…is racist.
And no, you NEVER get to live it down you pos.
finger prints are all old school.
it’s dna now.
and it’s used to release incarcerated prisoners all the time.
makes me wonder about the fingerprints first used and the dna tests now used and the conviction rate validity.
