A lot of cities have their own civil rights laws which are broader than federal law, and political affiliation is often a protected category in those cities.
Dear Steve_Seattle,
Yes, I know, as well as states. As an example, federal law does not protect against discrimination based on sexual preference. It isn't a violation of the Civil Rights Act to discriminate against homosexuals.
But my own state, Maryland, proscribes just that.
My comment was that I didn't see a claim based on the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 or other related federal laws.
