Eternally Rumsfeld and Unsolomonic

Even though it makes fun of Prez Bush and Cabinet, here's quite a funny op-ed:

Eternally Rumsfeld (go read the read the rest of it)
By Harold Meyerson

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 2016 -- President-elect George P. Bush announced today that he would reappoint Donald Rumsfeld to another term as secretary of defense. Rumsfeld has served in that position since he was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2001. After serving two terms in George W. Bush's administration, Rumsfeld served an additional two terms in the subsequent administration of President Jeb Bush. His 16 consecutive years heading the Pentagon is the longest uninterrupted tenure of any defense secretary, and that doesn't include the nearly two years he served in that post under President Gerald Ford. Rumsfeld is 84.

Meanwhile The Post takes a convulted, hypocritical view of the Solomon Amendment that's being challenged in the courts. Here's the crux of the issue at hand:

Numerous law schools, because of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy toward gays and lesbians, balked at assisting military recruiters, on the grounds that school policies forbid helping organizations that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. When the military, after the Sept. 11 attacks, started enforcing the law more aggressively, the law schools went to court, arguing that it violated their First Amendment rights.

They state they issue in a straightforward way, but then they go on (emphasis added):

In the meantime, however, the law schools face a difficult question. They would never allow a private employer who openly discriminated against gays and lesbians -- or, for that matter, against Catholics or African Americans -- to avail themselves of their career services.

LOL! These are the mainstays of discrimanatory Affirmative Action!! Then they go on; they don't want the military there, but they would like to get liberal lawyers in the military to bridge the "cultural gulf that already divides elite universities from the armed services." Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Oh, and decrying a practice that they themselves are practicing.

Power Line has done a much better job covering this: Philosophizing disgrace, An Unsolomonic decision, Unsolomonic...and unfair, Unsolomonic...and erroneous. Also notice that Power Line came up with this Unsolomonic title way before the Post did.
