Justice Department seeking mentally ill lawyers!

WASHINGTON - February 8, 2010 - In its ostensible attempt to create a nondiscriminatory application process, the Department of Justice is inviting mentally retarded and mentally ill candidates to pursue attorney posts.

A DOJ job listing at its official web site reveals that its Civil Rights Division is seeking 10 experienced trial attorneys for its Voting Section in Washington, D.C. and is encouraging "qualified applicants with targeted disabilities to apply."

The targeted disabilities it mentions include "mental retardation" and "mental illness," among others such as blindness and deafness.

Successful applicants are tasked with "enforcing federal statutes and executive orders that prohibit, among other things, unlawful discrimination in voting, education, employment, housing, police services, public accommodations and facilities, and federally funded and conducted programs."

Don’t you feel better knowing that your government is being staffed by employees with mental retardation and mental illness?
