    Hey Joe, maybe you should read the law a little bit?

    The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act is a United States federal law passed by the 47th United States Congress and signed into law by President Chester A. Arthur on January 16, 1883.

    The act mandates that most positions within the federal government should be awarded on the basis of merit instead of political patronage.

    By the late 1870s, American politics operated on the spoils system, a political patronage practice in which officeholders awarded their allies with government jobs in return for financial and political support.
    Proponents of the spoils system were successful at blocking meaningful civil service reform until the assassination of President James A. Garfield in 1881.

    The 47th Congress passed the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act during its lame duck session and President Chester A. Arthur, himself a former spoilsman, signed the bill into law.

    The Pendleton Civil Service Act provided for the selection of some government employees by competitive exams, rather than ties to politicians or political affiliation.

    It also made it illegal to fire or demote these government officials for political reasons and created the United States Civil Service Commission to enforce the merit system.

    The act initially only applied to about ten percent of federal employees, but it now covers most federal employees.

    We shouldn't make the mistake of assuming the moonbats will follow any law except when it serves them. This country is now in God's and Pelosi's hands.
