Inquiry finds Justice Dept. weeded out Democratic applicants, gave jobs to Republicans

"Ivy Leaguers and other top law students were rejected for plum Justice Department jobs two years ago because of their liberal leanings or objections to Bush administration politics, a government report concluded Tuesday. In one case, a Harvard Law student was passed over after criticizing the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.

Even senior Justice Department officials flinched at what appeared to be hiring decisions based — improperly and illegally — on politics, according to the internal report."

--Bush/rove/cheney politicizing govn agencies. Heavens! 

federal law prohibits discriminating against government job applicants based on their politics. But since they haven't bothered to follow ANY federal law I can think of, why start there?
