there for him. >> so, james, talk to me a little bit about because you have such institutional knowledge of washington, d.c. muslim staffers don't have the same protections as many other members of staff. why isn't there, for example, like a muslim association of staffers? i mean, there's been a perception from those i've spoken to it wouldn't be widely accepted because it would draw attention to them. as you mentioned they were citing a preface in that book. if they were to create an organization with their main identifier, what would that be for them? what would that experience be like for them on capitol hill? >> staffers generally don't have protections. congress holds itself to a different standard. you now can be prosecuted for sexual harassment, but for bigotry, no. i mean, that's simply not there. there is no hr office on the hill. you have to rely on the leadership to do this stuff. muslim staffers had an organization. that was precisely what sue meyer was going after in 2009.
