Gonzales gone but, not forgotten

According to the Washington Post the Justice Department is conducting an investigation into whether Alberto R(aza) Gonzales lied to Congress about the firing of U.S. Attorney's and is also looking into the hiring practices for non political jobs at the Department. Here is the money quote:
"In the questionnaires, Fine asks applicants whether they were quizzed by political appointees about their party affiliation, favorite politicians and judges, voting history, campaign contributions, and views on the death penalty and terrorism, according to a copy of the Aug. 24 questionnaire obtained by The Washington Post. Recipients are also asked to say whether White House aides participated in the interviews and to confirm if they were asked "what kind of conservative you were (law and order; social; fiscal)."
After seeing the how the Bush administraion has enforced U.S. laws on illegal immigration it seems to me the Bush Administration should have just hung a sign out in front of the DOJ the read no "law and order" conservatives need apply and saved everybody some time.
