I Love the Smell of Tolerance in the Afternoon!

By Shawn Macomber on 12.7.09 @ 5:40PM

A partner at a law firm seeks advice from an ethics website when he is unable to determine whether it is right or wrong to block Federalist Society members from being hired to associate positions. Hilarity ensues. (And, per the post addendum, the partner does, indeed, dump Federalist Society tainted resumes...)

Hire whomever you want for whatever reasons, but if, say, a right-wing movie producer were wrestling with the same conundrum, Newsweek would not doubt be rushing into production a cover story, Return of the Blacklist?

Do these people have a way of identifying each other - maybe a Lance Armstrong type rubber bracelet that says I Hate Bush or something? Or do you think they know based on metrosexual appearance and an air false superiority and smugness?

The sad thing is that this happens all the time. Most are so beaten down by their college experience that they would never dare put something like that on their resume.

The only good part of that is that the ethicist gave a great answer with no room for questioning the proper path.

Of course, then the jerk went and submarined all of the conservatives and ethics be damned.

The Federalist Society members were saved from the fate of having to work with an idiot.
