No it doesn't. The first amendment isn't about the right to hold a specific job. magical thyme Jan 2013 #67

who is an elected official's 'boss'? she was elected. she's not an appointee, & not a state HiPointDem Jan 2013 #70

Me too. But "expect" is not "want." immoderate Jan 2013 #28

Do you know what freedom of speech means? EOTE Jan 2013 #6

large numbers of DUers haven't a clue as to what the 1st amendment protects. not a fucking clue. cali Jan 2013 #10

Ain't that the truth. EOTE Jan 2013 #34

well why don't you explain it to the benighted, cali. HiPointDem Jan 2013 #69

it allows the American populace to engage in political speech datasuspect Jan 2013 #14

it does not protect you from being forced to resign for saying something political or cali Jan 2013 #20

that's not the issue at hand datasuspect Jan 2013 #23

how do you 'fire' an elected official? HiPointDem Jan 2013 #54

No, that's not what it does. EOTE Jan 2013 #31

we've established that you have no idea what you're talking about datasuspect Jan 2013 #32

Christ you're good at projection. EOTE Jan 2013 #33

that isn't the point i am arguing datasuspect Jan 2013 #37

And that person has every right to get fired for that same speech. EOTE Jan 2013 #40

i'm not suggesting. datasuspect Jan 2013 #42

You still haven't explained how this has anything to do with the first amendment. EOTE Jan 2013 #43

are you still buzzing around datasuspect Jan 2013 #47

Well, thanks for making me aware. EOTE Jan 2013 #50

school boards are typically elected by the voters, not political appointments. HiPointDem Jan 2013 #56

I don't see what that has to do with anything posted previously. EOTE Jan 2013 #59

elected officials don't get 'fired'. you act like the governor or someone can just step in & HiPointDem Jan 2013 #60

Again, that has nothing to do with whether or not this is a first amendment issue. EOTE Jan 2013 #62

he may have 'hand-picked' her as a candidate, but she's an elected official, not an appointee. HiPointDem Jan 2013 #64

Once again, you are completely clouding the issue. EOTE Jan 2013 #68

He can't *fire* someone elected by the voters, what don't you get? HiPointDem Jan 2013 #71

I've proven that that's not the case. Did you read the link I provided? EOTE Jan 2013 #73

you didn't prove shit. has an emergency manager been designated for the state of michigan? HiPointDem Jan 2013 #74

So, you've got nothing? EOTE Jan 2013 #75

i posted *proof* that she's an elected official. you post some *proof* that kasich can 'fire' HiPointDem Jan 2013 #78

She was elected by the BOARD not by Ohio voters. EOTE Jan 2013 #80

she was elected as *president* by the board, but elected to the *board itself* by the voters. HiPointDem Jan 2013 #81

Again, we're talking about her position as president. EOTE Jan 2013 #82

the governor didn't appoint her as president & can't fire her as president -- unless he's a dictator HiPointDem Jan 2013 #83

You've provided nothing in terms of proof. EOTE Jan 2013 #84

your idiotic interjections don't 'suggest' any such thing. HiPointDem Jan 2013 #85

So you've given up on offering anything in terms of proof? EOTE Jan 2013 #86

she was elected to the BOE by the VOTERS, as I've proven. You got nothing. HiPointDem Jan 2013 #88

Derp. But she became PRESIDENT because she was elected by the BoE? Comprende? EOTE Jan 2013 #89

i'm the one who told you that. you didn't know a damn thing about the boe before i told you. HiPointDem Jan 2013 #91

So, you're saying that you're full of shit? EOTE Jan 2013 #92

THANK YOU for using "populace" correctly! Bake Jan 2013 #41
