Which law is that? You can ask anyone, anything (other than the protected class questions), including asking questions to make sure you should actually interview a candidate. That doesn't mean the questions will be answered.

That law may be something like -- Information Practices Act of 1977 (federal), or, depending on your state, CA Civil Code 1798.
Section 1798.24 lists circumstances under which personnel or personal information may be accessed, including written consent of the individual / employee.
Do you indicate that the first two are contracts on your resume? If they were defined term assigmnets many people will not hold those two against you because you would have had no choice to leave those.
Otherwise yea that is alot of job hopping. I would keep at it.
Yup. Hopefully you indicated they were temp assignments, not salaried permanent positions. After that, you only had one job-hop, and it was to a much better-paying job, so IMO that indicates you're valued and increased your value. You got a permanent job (no one can blame you for that), then realized you could do better. I don't see a problem, unless someone assumes you'll always be looking ahead to see what better offers might be out there. You could pre-emptively address that concern in a cover letter, if you think that could be an obstacle.
It depends on what you do for a living. I have hit a problem finding a new job but It's more because I moved up from one salary level to a higher one in my industry the lower one has most of the employees the one I'm in does not so every job has lots of applicants trying to move up. Makes it that much harder.

It won't be answered then. You won't get an answer about the employees you're not interviewing. Anyway, no one is going to call four jobs and say "I'm calling in reference to Mr/s Jones. Also, can you tell me if Mr/s Smith also works there?". Sometimes, you have to lie to get a job. Jobs lie in recruiting and in their descriptions. Honestly, it's not a lie. Money is the ultimate boss. OP followed their boss from job to job and the current one is going under.

If someone fed me a line of **** like that I'd want to know who their boss was and why they were so special. I would also contact the boss and ask them about all of the obviously good things they had to say about their loyal hanger on.
Since when do you put salary on a resume? Unless the OP filled out an application stating their salary along with submitting the resume the potential employer would not know how much they are currently making. Find someone to fix your resume. That could be the problem! Make sure the contract jobs say contract so the employer understands why you have job hopped so much.
and had no plans to leave my current job until I realized it was unstable (company went public, started reorganizing, downsizing, my division is in the crosshairs).
I started applying for other jobs, but am getting no responses, I'm sure because they see that I've job-hopped too much. It kinda sucks because I feel like success in the modern economy requires lots of job hopping to reach the top of the ladder if you're not able to start out on the top of it.
Have you considered that you may have hopped past your skill set and reasonable salary for someone with your skill set?
