Promising lawyers and law students were rejected (from positions in the Justice Department) because of their political and ideological views, internal investigators say.

WASHINGTON -- Scores of highly credentialed young lawyers and law students were denied interviews for coveted positions at the Justice Department because of an illegal screening process that took political and ideological views and affiliations into account rather than merit, Justice Department investigators concluded in a report released Tuesday.

End excerpt

This above is the lead in a longish article about hiring at the Justice Department concerning the bias against moderate and liberal views and the refusal to grant interviews to highly qualified applicants who did not, however, answer certain questions "correctly."

Those receiving favorable review were born again, had attended an ultra-conservative religious law school and were pro-life.

Bush has amply demonstrated that he is not fit for public office in any capacity unless it is counting paper clips. What I find amazing is that criminal action is not being taken against him.

That any man can cloak himself in the mantle of Christianity and conduct himself as immorally and illegally as Bush has is a scandal far scarier than a sexual indiscretion. The senior Bush, whom I also thought not all that competent, is light years ahead of his son and is probably cringing under the bed.
