US SC : Whistleblowers don't have First Amendment protections
Yesterday the US Supreme Court (featuring prominently recent Bush appointee's like John 'BSD' Roberts and Sammy 'Just One More Drink' Alito) bitchslapped government employees into continuing their shamed silence, then screamed "STFU! See how crazy you make me??!?!?".
By a 5-4 margin, the justices said the government's interest in effectively managing operations outweighs the interests that protect employee speech, even in cases where employees may be reporting inefficiencies or wrongdoing.
So, I guess we won't be hearing much about $20,000 hammers at the Pentagon anymore, now will we!
