> "Unless you feel that being a "insert political party here" is a protected class..." Actually, political affiliation and participants in political activity are protected classes in a couple of states, including California, where many HN readers reside. "There are only three jurisdictions in the United States that explicitly bans political affiliation and activity discrimination, California, D.C., and New York. New York does not cover political affiliation discrimination, only political activity discrimination. Federal law discrimination law does not cover political affiliation or political activity. However, many states prohibit employers from influencing the votes of their employees."

I tip my hat to California for still remembering what old-school liberalism means.
