Wow, another great bit of research by Rob.

This report is about the career positions, not the political appointments.

There is a federal law that states you cannot ask about political affiliation for the career positions. 

Clinton never did a mass firing of the career positions.

You forgot this:”Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who succeeded Gonzales, said “the consideration of political affiliations in the hiring of career department employees is impermissible and unacceptable.”

He said he had accepted recommendations in the report to further guard against improper hiring factors.

Of course, this is more leftie lying, in that conflict of ideology is not “political”.

If govt control of the economy were the way to go, the Soviet Union would be the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world.

Thanks to Obama, America remains the only country where it is illegal to drill our own oil!

Of course you are full of hate and completely unhinged.

Equating bush’s own AG’s words as leftie lying is, well, stupid.

“The consideration of political affiliations in the hiring of career department employees is impermissible and unacceptable.”

Attorney General Michael Mukasey
Leftie liar

The report by the Justice Department inspector general and the Office of Professional Responsibility concluded that a pair of high-ranking political appointees who are no longer with the department had violated department policy and the Civil Service Reform Act by using ideological reasons to scuttle the candidacy of lawyers who applied to the elite honors and summer intern programs.

There is a federal law that states you cannot ask about political affiliation for the career positions. 

Which federal law would that be?  Sounds like a rather stupid law to me.  Presidents should be able to shape the departments under their administration as they wish.

What you guys want is affirmative action for liberal lawyers.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

There is a federal law that states you cannot ask about political affiliation for the career positions.

5 USC 2302(b)(1)(E): Any employee who has authority to take, direct others to take, recommend, or approve any personnel action, shall not, with respect to such authority, discriminate for or against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of marital status or political affiliation, as prohibited under any law, rule, or regulation.

The point is to prevent the civil service, the people that make government go, from being overrun with political hacks.  Functional government is anathema to the Bush administration, so this particular violation of the law isn’t so surprising.

It’s not “political affiliation”, it’s antiAmerican ideology.

rbb: A lie is a lie, no matter who tells it, but quoting someone out of context to create a false impression is a damned lie.

Hey, look at what I found just by reading the report:

The Department’s policy on nondiscrimination is contained in the
Code of Federal Regulations, Section 42.1(a) of 28 C.F.R. Part 42,
Subpart A, which states:

It is the policy of the Department of Justice to seek to
eliminate discrimination on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital
status, political affiliation, age, or physical or mental
handicap in employment within the Department and to
assure equal employment opportunity for all employees and
applicants for employment (emphasis added).

Functional government…

A well-known oxymoron.
The only “function” of govt that you can depend on is taking our money.

Is 108 really an anarchist?

The US is much closer the anarchy than it is to totalitarianism.  You seem to be unable to understand the term “limited government”.  No surprise.

Well, I don’t know if he is or isn’t, but I am sure he is your intellectual superior and much better equipped to engage in rational debate than are you.

In keeping silent about evil, in burying it deep within us, so that it appears nowhere on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future.

Nice joke Neiman.

Leaving ideology aside for a moment, you know that a political party has been in power too long when patronage programs become so egregious. This is true for both liberal and conservative governments…it’s the hubris that tells many voters it’s time for a change.

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. ”

Arthur Schopenhauer

Should an AUSA appointee that is reported to be having a sexual relationship with her US Attorney, taking trips at government expense together, and getting higher then normal wage increases be protected from hiring on the basis of sexual orientation (both are female)?

This is one case againt Gooding mentioned in particular, I tend to feel that regardless of sexual orientation, the AUSA should not have been kept on or promoted, since apparently rules were being broken in any case.  There isn’t much, if anything to show that Gooding used sexual orientation as the reason according to the report, its more may have somewhat considered sexual orientation.
