One federal employee said in a court filing that they “cannot in good conscience pretend to agree with President Trump’s policies.”

Government employees asked a federal judge Wednesday to block the Trump administration from encouraging job applicants to demonstrate their loyalty to the president’s agenda.

In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, a group of federal labor unions argues that the White House’s “merit hiring plan” violates applicants’ First Amendment rights. The plan, put forth by the Office of Personnel Management, includes the following short essay question:

“How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.”

    What would that prove that the SC ruling from that article hasn’t already proven?

    it could help you understand that us supreme court doesn’t rule behind us borders. whether it actually would, i have no idea.

    Admittedly it’s hard to review the exchange after the majority of your comments have been removed.

    i understand you are trying unconventional attack vectors, but 2 out of 5 is not a majority, swetie. i see you are as good in math as you are in law. i am done with this discussion, bye.

      But…

      I’ve linked you an article multiple times, even quoting the relevant sections on forum determination…

      It would all happen in the US courts, again, like the link I provided explained in depth. It doesn’t matter where you are, because your commenting on a community hosted in America.

      Like you’re right that US SC doesn’t effect me suing you in your country’s legal system, but literally no one is saying that. And I could have sworn we already got on the same page that this would happen in US courts?

      i am done with this discussion, bye

      And that’s fine, all you have to do is stop replying.
