The Federal Law that Goodling and Co violated

[dancingme]

On another board I got into a discussion of the US Attorney firing and hiring violations. A Republican claimed that there is no actual law that Gonzales and Sampson and Goodling violated. If this is the latest Freeper talking point, here is the law:

1. Why are these considered the rights of only Federal Employees?

....These should be the employment rights of every working person in the United States!

3. They aren't rights for Federal Employees only. Everyone else is covered by this.

1. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e and following) prohibits employers from discriminating against applicants and employees on the basis of race or color, religion, sex, and national origin (including membership in a Native American tribe). It also prohibits employers from retaliating against an applicant or employee who asserts his or her rights under the law. To learn more about retaliation, see Preventing Retaliation Claims by Employees.

The GOVERNMENT considers itself a special case, so there had to be a different set of rules for federal employees.

2. She committed perjury.

Particularly on that part about studying when she could have been partying.

Obviously, since she doesn't know anything about law, and is still experiencing blackouts.

4. too bad she didn't spend time actually reading the law

Oh wait, she only needs to read one book. If it's not in The Book, it doesn't concern her.
