ace....once again you leave me bemused and befuddled.

Of course, the next Democratic president will appoint Democratic lawyers to political positions, although no recent Democratic president (or Republican president for that matter) fired such attorneys for not pursuing a political agenda in the manner that Bush fired 9 Republican attorneys he appointed.

But I am curious as to your insight that the next Democratic administration will use party afflilation as hiring criteria for career (non-political) positions at the DoJ in violation of the Civil Service Act.

Based on what? THe Clinton administration didnt do it (the Repubs investigated them on everything including funding for Socks the cat fan club). There is no evidence the Carter administration used such illegal personal practices either.

So how do you come by such a conclusion that the next Democratic administration will knowingly and willfully break the law?
