The newest protected class

One of the provisions in Obama's proposed "Jobs Bill" is to establish a NEW category of outlawed discrimination. If the bill is passed, a new legally protected classification would be the "unemployed."   It would be illegal not to hire a person applying for a job if he/she is unemployed.    Yes, you read that right.  So, if unemployed Joe Blow applies for a job and doesn't get that job, he can now sue the company for discrimination.   It seems to me that this would make any employer NOT want even interveiw or give job applications to any unemployed person.  The only jobs this might help would be for the trial lawyers.   The liberals are certifiably insane.
