Seems a little early to be this concerned but of course your point about loyalty AND competence being necessary is straight on.

Isn’t Paul an alumni of the Division? If one has devoted much of his career to truly important work and done it well, I think it is very natural to want to right the ship. He took his responsibilities seriously and wants the Trump administration not to overlook it. I hope they focus on civil rights again and eliminate the DEI cancer.

Thanks for the comment.

I never worked for the Civil Rights Division. I did spend five years at the EEOC, the other prime federal enforcer of civil rights laws.

At the EEOC, I sometimes worked with lawyers from the Civil Rights Division. And yes, I do take seriously the proper function of that office, including the need to combat DEI.
