It's illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of their political stance. Nothing you can say will ever change that.

- alexqgb 13y agoIf that were true, no congressperson could ever staff an office. Or a campaign.
- transitionality 13y agoIf a Republican wanted to work for a Democrat, and if he were denied employment for that reason alone, that would be illegal, yes.
- alexqgb 13y agoI don't know where you're getting this idea from, but you really should check your sources. There is a limited prohibition against screening for political affiliations enforced by the Federal government when filling certain civil service positions, but that's about it. For a good summary of what types of discrimination can and cannot trigger legal liability, see here: http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/qanda.html http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/qanda.html
