Those seeking a job in the federal government will now have to write an essay in support of Donald Trump’s executive orders, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.
Vince Haley, the White House’s head of domestic policy, wrote in the May 29 memorandum that all civil service applicants must answer a series of essays as part of the job recruitment process, including one about how they would “help advance” Trump’s policy priorities.
This has to be illegal.
Probably, but we’re way past the point of the Trump regime ignoring all laws that disagree with it…
I’m still waiting for all the promises that USanians kept saying over the years that guns would save them all…
The courts have been telling him no for the most part. They just take awhile because they actually follow the law.
Is Trump actually following what the courts say though?
When the BBB passes it will be illegal for courts to enforce the law
No but see if i keep the right details about the room in my minds eye, and point my magic hammer at my enemy, and chant the laws just right, they have to do it. Or you shoot a fireball.
Thats why you keep your focus the fringe on the flag; that keeps you firmly in earth magic; if you get distracted and think about the benches while chanting the law youre gonna do either fire or wood magic, and you do not want to accidentally summon a tree in a court room. Especially not if youre citing a powerful law when you do.
If I had a dollar for each time I’ve had an excellent ratio decidendi argument ruined by the sudden appearance of a fucking weeping willow, I’d have enough for a Costco hot dog!
(The second time, I managed to work it into my closing statement with some difficulty)
And you lived!?
Apparently 🤷
Not a lawyer but I actually don’t think so.
I assume all government figures never thought this kind of act could ever happen here so they had no reason to make a law about it or one that covers it.
P.S. Even if it is, who is going to stop them. They haven’t followed any law they don’t want to unless forced by the courts and even then they still do it.
I’d expect there’s applicable laws concerning discrimination in hiring practices. It’s probably not a legal stretch to argue that mandating idealogical support for one party’s policies will run afoul of political discrimination laws. In fact, this might generate a bunch of lawsuits from people who get turned down for jobs.
Political affiliation is not a protected class, it’s not illegal to discriminate against you for who you vote for
If it is illegal a judge will stop it. Just because he sprays and prays doesn’t mean it’s sticking.
Someone would have to bring a legal case to them first, right? And even if they did, a SC Judge can overturn that.
Easy solution: Don’t use a South Carolina judge. 😌 /s
Oh shit, i guess they’ll stop then.
Phew, we almost had a disaster!
I don’t think so
Dumb? Yes but not illegal
