It is a civil rights violation, It is discrimination. It is just as illegal to discriminate based on political affiliation as it would be for race
If that's the angle folks wish to use as justification either for legal action or termination against those who committed the act, by all means pursue the perpetrators to the fullest extent of the law. But I think we first need to find out why it was done, don't you?
I've listened to the talk shows and read the news reports (though not on a daily basis) same as most folks, and it could simply be a matter of the agency being overwhelmed. Of course, I don't buy it anymore than the next guy, but I'm willing to wait until a full investigation is had before jumping to conclusions.
