U.S. District Judge James Robinson ruled that the Library of Congress discriminated against Diane Schroer of Alexandria, Va., by not giving her the job after the former David Schroer disclosed he would start becoming Diane before beginning the new job.

"The evidence establishes that the Library was enthusiastic about hiring David Schroer — until she disclosed her transsexuality," Robinson wrote in his decision.

Do we really want terrorist analysts who are severely mentally ill?

This judge resigned from the FISA court over the warrantless wiretapping fracus. Sounds like a flaming lib.

Obvious fraud. Shim applied as a man, waited for an answer, then told the truth. That’s intentional fraud.

If I were the woman who shim had lunch with and told, I would asked shim to re-apply.

The plaintiff’s behavior is really, really embarrassing. But expertise on terrorism and national security does not know gender. If he/she really knows the stuff, maybe the department should look the other way. If they’re worried about the co-workers being uncomfortable, the tranny can always work from home on a laptop.

Why would any employer would hire someone who had multiple surgeries scheduled?

Why would any business hire someone who will be missing work?

In this case, the surgery is and remains elective.

Bad copy & paste job, I’d assume.

Depending on when he enlisted (before “don’t ask, don’t tell?), he may have had to lie to get in. The initial questionnaire filled out by all service personnel used to have you check off a list of illnesses you have had; one of them was “homosexual tendencies”.

Give him credit for keeping it under wraps while serving and being good enough at his job to acheive a prestigious command, but the lie on the application is a chargable offense.

This is the same one? He was reprimanded by the FISA court for making up his own laws.

This is an Army matter, UCMJ applies? I do not understand why a federal, non-military judge has jurisdiction.

I ask a knowledgeable Freeper to explain.

Its not. The person had retired. UCMJ also does not apply to the Library of Congress.

This could be a good thing. Anyone who would voluntarily cut off his own testes should have no qualms about waterboarding...of course, we may need to remind him that waterboarding is for terrorists, not for his personal pleasure.

[Schroer said in the Army she was director of the classified group that tracked and targeted terrorists]
 
S'pose that explains why the group he was in charge of never caught Osama?
 
Maybe the group would have been more effective if its commander wasn't distracted by his obsession with carrying a purse and mutilating his genitals.
