The Justice Department's 20% turnover

yet another story of Bushco's destruction by cronyism and ideology... it's incessant... the stories of the deconstruction of the executive branch and the obliteration of every fundamental value and principle that this country stands for keep pouring in... what's it's taken nearly 230 years to slowly, patiently, agonizingly put together is being systematically wiped out... witness what's happening at the justice department under alberto... this must be his idea of paying homage to rosa parks...

Nearly 20 percent of the division's lawyers left in fiscal 2005, in part because of a buyout program that some lawyers believe was aimed at pushing out those who did not share the administration's conservative views on civil rights laws. Longtime litigators complain that political appointees have cut them out of hiring and major policy decisions, including approvals of controversial GOP redistricting plans in Mississippi and Texas.

At the same time, prosecutions for the kinds of racial and gender discrimination crimes traditionally handled by the division have declined 40 percent over the past five years, according to department statistics. Dozens of lawyers find themselves handling appeals of deportation orders and other immigration matters instead of civil rights cases.

a 20% turnover... so much for running the country like a business... 20% in the business world is a neon-lit signal of bad management... for bushco, it's time to celebrate yet another milestone in the voiding of the social contract...
