Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW The questions presented are: 1. When federal agencies take adverse actions causing denial of initial appointment, and purposefully use software settings and hiring processes that undermine and violate veterans preference laws relative to initial employment, are their willful infringements of a qualified veteran’s rights motivated by hatred of military service? 2. Does Congress require an initial appointment to be granted to a qualified preference eligible after a federal agency violates that veteran’s preference rights, denies them initial appointment and illegally steals the job from that veteran to appoint, promote, transfer, reassign or reinstate a non-preference eligible or non-veteran under the vacancy due to hostility against military , service that inspired legislation for veterans’ preference? 3. When federal employees adjudicate veterans preference and _ initial employment discrimination matters, and ignore hiring misconduct to rule in favor of the law violators, do their decided actions prove hostility towards military service and an intent to work in the best interest of the violators? , .
