While on the job, no. While on their own time, they are allowed to politic on a partisan basis. Between this pisspoor judicial precedent and the allowance for public servants to unionize, the poor taxpayer in this country is unmitigatingly screwed!!!

I don’t think that is correct. The Hatch Act for civilian federal employees was repealed, but active duty military are still prohibited from partisan activities. National Guard and Reserves are also covered while they are on active duty.
Federal law and DOD rules are very specific and strict.
