Object: Federal Law on non-political hires in DOJ
This is for Fred, who kept trying to tell us that no law was broken by
Monica Goodling when she questioned potential hires for civil service
jobs about their political affiliations.
From:
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2007/05/31/justice_
dept_probes_its_hirings/
Title:
Justice Dept. probes its hirings
Investigating for bias toward conservatives
"Under federal law, officials may not take political affiliation into
account when hiring career professionals, permanent, non-partisan
employees who stay on when an administration changes. But last week, a
former aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales , Monica Goodling ,
told Congress that she had "crossed the line" by attempting to block
liberal applicants from being hired as career assistant prosecutors and
immigration judges."
More:
"Such allegations dovetailed with the resumes of successful applicants
to several sections of the Civil Rights Division from 2001 to 2006. The
Globe obtained the resumes last year using the Freedom of Information
Act. Starting in 2003, after political appointees took greater control
of the process, the number of new hires with prior experience in
traditional civil rights enforcement plunged. Meanwhile, new hires with
strong conservative credentials -- such as membership in the Federalist
Society or the Republican National Lawyers Association -- rose
significantly, the resumes showed."

Ah, but that does not contain the code reference. And for this
situation, and any situation that Fred does not bring up, you need
that code reference to substantiate the claim.

Not only that, but the source is (ohmygod) the MSM, and not a
conservative blog. Also, the author of the article is Charlie Savage,
who is one of the few MSM journalists who has been investigating the
Bush signing statements.

Gee, Fred, why don't you read Monica Goodling's testimony. We are
talking about lawyers being hired for *civil service* positions in the
DoJ. The article I referenced was about lawyers in the Civil Rights
division, but Goodling talked about others. These lawyers were hired, at
least in part, based on their political affiliations and attitudes. That
is illegal. as shown above.

I'm still waiting for that citation from the transcript too. You keep
telling me that she admitted this and she admitted that, but I want to
read the exact transcript. Your claim, you support it.

OK, Dave, this seems to be the remark that you're talking about in
context:
"During my five years at the department, I believe that I interviewed
hundreds of job applicants, and the vast majority of these were
applicants for political appointee positions.But some were applicants
for certain categories of career positions.
Specifically, I interviewed candidates who were to be detailed into
confidential policy-making positions and attorney general appointments,
such as immigration judges and members of the Board of Immigration
Appeal.I also interviewed requests for waivers of hiring freezes imposed
on districts with an outgoing U.S. attorney or interim or acting U.S.
attorney.
In every case I tried to act in good faith and for the purpose of
ensuring that the department was staffed by well-qualified individuals
who were supportive of the attorney general's views, priorities and
goals.
GOODLING:Nevertheless, I do acknowledge that I may have gone too far in
asking political questions of applicants for career positions, and I may
have taken inappropriate political considerations into account on some
occasions. And I regret those mistakes. "
It is entirely legitimate, Dave, for Goodling to be asking questions as
to whether an applicant would support the views, priorities and goals of
the attorney general, and those would be political questions. That is
NOT an admission of guilt.

NOT an admission of guilt.

First, let me apologize for the multiple posts of the same material.
Google was acting pretty strangely, telling me my post hadn't gone
trough when it had. Sorry.
However, it is not legitimate for her to ask political questions of
career employees, and it is an admission of guilt which explains why, at
first, she took the fifth. These were not political employees, and
hiring of these employees for political or ideological reasons is
illegal, as you have been shown. Sorry, Fred, but you are just wrong,
and no amount of hair splitting by you will change that. I realize that
you believe no one in the Bush administration (at least, as long as they
support Bush) can ever do anything wrong or illegal, but what she did
was both wrong and illegal.

and no amount of hair splitting by you will change that. I realize
that you believe no one in the Bush administration (at least, as long
as they support Bush) can ever do anything wrong or illegal, but what
she did was both wrong and illegal.

They aren't career employees until they're hired, Dave.

Gee, Fred, why don't you read Monica Goodling's testimony. We
are talking about lawyers being hired for *civil service*
positions in the DoJ. The article I referenced was about lawyers
in the Civil Rights division, but Goodling talked about others.
These lawyers were hired, at least in part, based on their
political affiliations and attitudes. That is illegal. as shown
above.


I'm still waiting for that citation from the transcript too. You
keep telling me that she admitted this and she admitted that, but
I want to read the exact transcript. Your claim, you support it.

OK, Dave, this seems to be the remark that you're talking about in
context:


"During my five years at the department, I believe that I interviewed
hundreds of job applicants, and the vast majority of these were
applicants for political appointee positions.But some were applicants
for certain categories of career positions.


Specifically, I interviewed candidates who were to be detailed into
confidential policy-making positions and attorney general
appointments, such as immigration judges and members of the Board of
Immigration Appeal.I also interviewed requests for waivers of hiring
freezes imposed on districts with an outgoing U.S. attorney or
interim or acting U.S. attorney.


In every case I tried to act in good faith and for the purpose of
ensuring that the department was staffed by well-qualified

Nope.

Yup. From the code (thank you Douglas Berry, for the url):
" Sec. 2302. Prohibited personnel practices
-STATUTE-
(a)(1) For the purpose of this title, "prohibited personnel
practice" means any action described in subsection (b).
(2) For the purpose of this section -
(A) "personnel action" means -
(i) an appointment;
(ii) a promotion;
(iii) an action under chapter 75 of this title or other"
See where it says "appointment"?


I'm not the only one who thinks
the hiring practices of the Bush DoJ were wrong. This thread was
started because the IG of the DoJ also thought the hiring practices
may have been wrong, and is investigating them. This includes not only

Whoa! Unless they were members of the Liberal party, "liberal" is not
a political affiliation. Taking "attitudes", even political ones, into
account is perfectly legal.
You cannot say, "you must be a Republican to get this job", but you
can say, "you must be loyal to this administration".
She may have crossed the line regarding political affiliations, and
she may have come perilously close with political opinions. But the
main problem was the lying about it and forgetting how it happened.
