A federal judge ruled Friday that the Department of Education violated the First Amendment rights of some agency employees when it sent out-of-office messages on their behalf that blamed Democrats for the government shutdown.
The ruling from US District Judge Christopher Cooper is the latest court rebuke of controversial moves by the Trump administration during what has now become the longest shutdown in US history.
Cooper, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, said the department had unconstitutionally compelled its employees’ speech when it tinkered with the out-of-office messages for furloughed workers so that they included language blaming the shutdown on “Democrat Senators” who “are blocking” passage of a “clean continuing resolution” that would fund the government.
I’m old enough to remember when forging government documents resulted in impeachment.
Remember when impeachment meant something? Because it doesnt anymore. Good old flying pieces of metal still work though. Just ask Charlie.
Charlie’s wife didn’t even wait for the body to cool before she was on that next grift. Are we sure she didn’t put a hit out on him?
when has impeachment meant anything? literally just one time it actually lead to someone being held accountable…
