SCOTUS to wrongfully accused terrorists: “drop dead”

Kavanaugh finds new ways to be wrong.

When people call the US Supreme Court “corporate-friendly,” it’s often hard to know what that means in concrete terms. But here’s an example of what it means when the highest court in the land is in the tank for big business.

Transunion is a giant credit reporting bureau. These companies have their origin in a company called “Retail Credit” (now Equifax). RC paid people to spy on their neighbors and kept secret files on who was a “race mixer,” a homosexual, or a political radical.

These files were sold to employers, financial institutions and landlords to help them discriminate against people for their political, sexual or racial views.

Today, these companies continue to maintain massive, nonconsensual, wildly inaccurate databases detailing your finances, your employment, your living arrangements, your run-ins with the criminal justice system and more.

These are sold — again, without your consent — to lenders, employers, landlords, and other entities, who use them to make decisions that affect where you live and work, whether you can adopt, and more.
