I simply responded to your vague comparisons of the federal government to Chicago of the 60s-80.
Your continuous mischaracterizations of my posts only lessen your credibility

The context of my reference to Chicago was relative to how people obtain jobs based on political affiliation. I did not compare Chicago to Washington or the fedral governemnt(ed.). If your scroll wheel is not working here is what I posted.

You called the people who resigned political hacks. I took that to mean Democrats don't have political hacks. I don't believe that for a second. The question of party affiliation does not have to be asked for it to be a basis for someone getting a job at DOJ or any civil service position. I don't know the technicalities of the law, but I bet some people in the future at DOJ will get appointed not based on being the best qualified candidate, but because of part affiliation (I did not say there would be a violation of the law). If you are certain this won't happen in the future and under and Democratic Party administration, I don't know what to say.
I grew up in the Chicago area and lived there during the 60's, 70's and 80's, in Chicago, I doubt many got good city jobs who were not a Democrat. They did not have to ask either, they knew who would get the jobs. I would love to visit the world you live in.
