Report Assails Political Hiring in Justice Dept.
Justice Department officials illegally used “political or ideological” factors in elite recruiting programs in recent years, tapping law school graduates with Federalist Society membership or other conservative credentials over more qualified candidates with liberal-sounding résumés, an internal report found Tuesda.
This is the funniest/most outrageous detail:
Investigators reviewed e-mail messages from Ms. McDonald in which she indicated that “leftist commentary” or “buzz words like ‘environmental justice’ and ‘social justice’ ” were grounds for rejecting applicants.
Other possible leftist buzzwords, grounds for rejection:
- Habeas corpus
- Rights
- Organic
- Global warming
- Sustainability
- Rational; Reason
- Integrity
- Fair
- Impartial
- Facts
- Prius
