52. He was suspended
For failing to disclose a personal political contribution (if that is even what happened). Since when can a company require you to make or not make a contribution? I don't imagine Fox news, Halliburton, or any number of other companies have polices forbidding such a practice. Surely their CEO's are allowed to donate massive amounts of money if they choose. This is garbage. We are worried about the queensbury rules of boxing while going into the ring with a dozen rabid wolverines.

He donated personally to a few candidates. A few thousand dollars that any legal citizen could legally donate according to our constitution. A company cannot impel you give up your liberties when you are not on the clock. And don't even compare this to the military. The rules are entirely different as are teh reasons for those rules.
