The government is well-known for ignoring its own rules while penalizing private industry for not following them. Congress specifically exempted itself from EO/AA citing the confidential relationship that must exist (I forget the exact wording) between a member and his or her staff. I understand that the Supreme Court has a dismal record in applying EO/AA to law clerks. There was a survey that found OSHA among the worst in the country in ignoring it's own workplace safely rules (this was some time ago - may not be true now - but I sorta doubt they've changed).
