"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?
