The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a case from a Jewish man who says he was discriminated against in seeking a military security clearance. Without comment, the court chose not to hear the case Monday involving David Tenenbaum, who sued various government agencies in 1998 after his ties to Israel were investigated. Tenenbaum, who government officials said inadvertently passed information to Israeli military officials, a charge Tenenbaum’s lawyer denies, had his house searched on the Sabbath.
