No employee should be asked to do something unconstitutional. Yes, they should push back if they are. Not only that, we should support those who push back and say no but unfortunately we support politics as long as the politics are ours.
Spying by the Obama administration is a perfect example of this. People tried to blow the whistle on this. The government went after them. Snowden finally had to do what he did. The courts ruled against the administration but liars were able to get away with their lies and Snowden is still condemned by many unfortunately.
Now, where was I trying to be "slick"?
What they may think is "unconstitutional" is 99% of the time merely a policy disagreement.
Again, they are there to implement policy, not decide it.
I'm not really interested in your generalizations. I pointed out a specific example.
He at least went public with his issues, he didn't sit there and try to gum up the works.
Which is what I said the employees should do. They should say NO and push back not simply quit.
Then they should be fired when found to be nothing more than playing politics.
Cogs, that's all they are supposed to be.
Whistleblowers are supposed to be protected.
