New Justice Sides With Liberals On Civil Service Ruling
Justice John Paul Stevens joined Brennan Marshall and others in a 5 to 4 ruling that the Civil Service Commission cannot bar aliens from federal employment without congressional or presidential authorization.

The ruling reflected a shift from conservative dissenters Burger Rehnquist White Blackmun who argued Congress can restrict federal employment to citizens.
