The employer has the right to ask employees questions that are job-related. Therefore, the employees are be questioned by the government which entitles the employee to the Fifth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

On March 9, 2006, Congress passed the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act. The act modified the way interim U.S. attorney appointments were managed. Prior to this law, attorney generals could make interim appointments for no more than one hundred and twenty days.

The Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal. The court concluded that even though there were “identical floor areas, number of parking spaces, the provision of a public plaza, the use of public art, and the orientation of the buildings to ensure water views,” many of these were standard features for high-rise developments and could not be protected because they were simply abstract ideas.

The court viewed these differences as substantial enough so that no reasonable person would view the structures as being substantially similar. As such, the court concluded that even in the pleading stages of litigation (before discovery), the trial court did not err in dismissing the claim.

The United States bureaucracy has worked under two systems. The early bureaucracy conducted under the patronage system a.k.a “the spoils system”. The patronage system is about giving government jobs to family, friends, and political supporters. The spoils system meant that government jobs were used to support politicians and the political parties. In the early 19th century, government jobs were given to people and held by them at the pleasure of elected officials (President, Governor, Mayor, etc.) Under the patronage system no requirement to prove a person is qualified for a government job.
