Biden intends to continue his racist and gender illegality by nominating a black woman...and only a black woman to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court.This nomination will fly in the face of Supreme Court decisions going back decades as well as codified US laws...multiple laws and administrative hiring procedures, including 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(1).
Prohibited Personnel Practices
Solicitors in the Employment and Labor Law Unit (ELLU) provide advice and guidance to managers and supervisors on how to avoid committing Prohibited Personnel Practices (PPPs). PPPs are employment-related activities that are banned in the federal workforce because they violate the government’s merit system through some form of employment discrimination, retaliation, improper hiring practices, or failure to adhere to laws, rules, or regulations that directly concern the merit system principles. The Office of Special Counsel has the authority to investigate and prosecute violations of the 14 PPPs.
What are the 14 PPPs?
1. An agency official shall not discriminate against an employee or applicant based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability (or handicapping condition), marital status, or political affiliation. 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b)(1).
Prohibited Personnel Practices (5 USC § 2302(b))
Any employee who has authority to take, direct others to take, recommend, or approve any personnel action, shall not, with respect to such authority—
discriminate for or against any employee or applicant for employment—
on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, as prohibited under section 717 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 42 U.S.C. 2000e—16);
on the basis of age, as prohibited under sections 12 and 15 of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (29 U.S.C. 631, 633a);
on the basis of sex, as prohibited under section 6(d) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 206 (d))
The President and the Take Care Clause
Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution requires the President to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” This clause, known as the Take Care Clause, requires the President to enforce all constitutionally valid Acts of Congress, regardless of his own Administration’s view of their wisdom or policy. The clause imposes a duty on the President; it does not confer a discretionary power. The Take Care Clause is a limit on the Vesting Clause’s grant to the President of “the executive power.”
