— EX-CONGRESSMAN AARON SCHOCK SAYS GOVERNMENT WANTS TO SILENCE HIM – Chuck Goudie and Ross Weidner, Barb Markoff and Christine Tressel (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. The federal government never sough a gag order against me in Diersen v. GAO (https://gopillinois.com/documents/). Just the opposite. The facts in the lawsuit show that the federal government discriminates against its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. The federal government wants potential and current federal employees to know that. It is called Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. The facts in the lawsuit help the federal government waste the careers of and get rid of its employees who are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. Therefore, the facts in the lawsuit help the federal government hire, retain, and promote those who are Democrat, minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. RINO elected officials and RINO party leaders stress that RINOs never came to my defense in Diersen v. GAO. RINOs promote political affiliation discrimination (SEE: http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html), RINOs promote reverse discrimination, RINOs promote age discrimination, and RINOs promote retaliation for complaining about the aforesaid.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Prosecutors have filed for a gag order against ex-congressman Aaron Schock in Springfield federal court. But as Schock and his lawyers prepare for Monday’s arraignment on corruption charges, they are first firing a free-speech shot charging that the government is illegally attempting to muzzle them from talking in public. Two years ago, from his Capitol Hill office, Congressman Aaron Schock, 35, was celebrating the First Noel. Now, he is fighting for the First Amendment. He was indicted on 24 corruption counts last month after a lengthy investigation. “After the government realized there was no crime, they chose to spend the next 19 months, using two grand juries and millions of taxpayer dollars in an attempt to manufacture a crime,” he said. Now the government has filed a motion for a gag order claiming the judge should “restrict extrajudicial statements that pose a serious and imminent threat to the fairness of a judicial proceeding.” The request for a gag order was aimed not only at Schock, but his attorneys, who said the government made up the case: “Those charges are the culmination of an effort to find something, anything, to pull down Aaron Schock,” George Terwilliger, Schock’s attorney, said. Schock will be arraigned Monday in Springfield on charges he misused government and campaign money, underwriting a lavish lifestyle including the now infamous redecoration of his Washington office to look like the “Downton Abbey” television show. Schock’s argument against the gag order, twice as long as the request itself, observes that “after months of lobbing outrageous accusations…the government comes before this court asking for a gag order to silence Mr. Schock and his attorneys.” They call it an “invasion of core, constitutionally-protected speech.” Targeting a former congressman who once thrived on self-generated publicity, social media depicting his world travels and encounters with the rich, the famous and both. Prosecutors, conceding that Schock is a public figure, said they are not trying to broadly limit his free speech and only want to block statements that might impugn the fairness of the criminal proceedings.)

http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So perhaps it is fitting that Republican politicians here are rising to the defense of political patronage. In 1990 the United States Supreme Court, ruling in a case brought by five frustrated job seekers against the Republican Party of Illinois, outlawed political favoritism in all government hiring except for policy-making posts, saying that only merit should count. This was a strange concept in Illinois, where the spoils system had always been rather the point of politics. This spring the issue is heading for the Court again in a different case, and Gov. Jim Edgar, a Republican, filed a brief last month asking the Justices to reverse its ban on government favoritism. He argues that patronage actually helps the democratic system. As another top Republican here, State Representative Lee Daniels, put it, patronage “doesn’t need to be a dirty word.” In response, civil libertarians say it is an embarrassment for the state to have political leaders arguing against meritocracy. “It seems only in Illinois,” said Harvey Grossman, the head of the American Civil Liberties Union office in Chicago, “would state officials be willing to publicly endorse the corrosive practice” of patronage. But Jeffrey Coleman, a lawyer for Governor Edgar, said it was simply logical for a political leader to prefer workers who are friends, rather than foes. “George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson and every administration at the Federal and state level for 200 years used political consideration in hiring,” Mr. Coleman said. “And it seems rather ironic that nine men and women who were appointed to the Supreme Court for political reasons would say that politics should play no role in the selection of public employees.”)
