[EL] First Amendment/civil service

[Jason C. Miller]

Adam:

I published a paper critical of the Hatch Act a year ago:

One case kind of got around the Letter Carriers precedent by focusing
on the impact on voters of a city ordinance that prohibited teachers
and school district employees from running for office.  See
Mains v. City of Rochester, No. 03-CV-6363T(F), 2004 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
14826 (W.D.N.Y. Jul. 23, 2004).
