But they sure as hell don’t have the right to keep their job. They can always find work in places that support their political beliefs.

For expressing an opinion?

Probably going to want to re-think that statement.

Very few, if any, federal judges are going to side with you in that sentiment.

State is a nest of vipers . Those who critize policy will try to stop the policy from being implemented. Trump should fire them all, and start over!

RE: For expressing an opinion?

Not for expressing an opinion. But if they refuse to help implement an administration’s policy, do they still have the right to keep their job?

Let’s put it this way — suppose the Florida Health Department under DeSantis refuses to pay for surgeries for trans children but someone responsible for budgeting releases funds for it anyway, isn’t that a firing offense?

The same principle goes in the opposite direction should a left-wing governor get elected.
