WP: "Schlozman's efforts to hire political conservatives for career jobs throughout the division are now being examined as part of a wide-ranging investigation of the Bush administration's alleged politicization of the Justice Department. The department's inspector general and Office of Professional Responsibility confirmed last month that their inquiry, begun in March, will look at hiring, firing and legal-case decisions in the division." What's hard to understand reading this is why Schlozman and the DOJ haven't been sued by more of the people he discriminated against in the department because he didn't judge them to be on his political team. Such as the guy who voted for McCain. Friday afternoon resignation watch?
