Sorry, that doesn't follow.  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).
