More Bush Religious BS

It is in this sentence:

The blocking of applicants with liberal credentials appeared to be a particular problem in the Justice Department’s civil rights division, which has seen an exodus of career employees in recent years as the department has pursued a more conservative agenda in deciding what types of cases to bring.

They hired only right wing conservatives, which means religious conservatives in this day and age. This is important because the Dept. of Justice can be influenced by the religious crazies, e.g. those wanting to put gay (and straight people for that matter) in jail for consenual pre-marital sex and even marital sex if it involves fellatio -- which happened more than once over the last 20 or so years

But, even taking out the religious angle, which most assuredly is there (The crazy right wing religious conservative Ashcroft spent thousands to cover the naked marble breasts of the statues in the Dept. of Justice building ) -- it was illegal to do what they did. Yet, the rules, once again, do not apply to the Bush Administration.
