We provide a systematic classification of renormalizable and nonrenormalizable operators for Lorentz violation in electrodynamics and use polarimetric observations to search for the associated violations.4 pages two-column REVTeX, accepted in Physical Review LettersAstrophysicsHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyLorentz-violating electrodynamics and the cosmic microwave backgroundtext
