ABC News' Jake Tapper asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney about Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius violating the Hatch Act, at today's press briefing. Carney responded that Sec. Sebelius had made an "inadvertent error based on extemporaneous remarks."
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel claimed Sec. Sebelius had made “extemporaneous partisan remarks” during a speech in her official capacity earlier this year.
The Hatch Act prohibits employees (civil servants) in the executive branch of the federal government from engaging in partisan political activity.
The standard penalty for violating the Hatch Act is termination. According to OSC, any “employee who violates the Hatch Act shall be removed from their position, and funds appropriated for the position from which removed thereafter may not be used to pay the employee or individual.”

I have instructed the lawyer I keep on retainer to respond to any and all questions as “inadvertant error”./s
To Be Clear:
They are not against enforcing these laws,
They are against enforcing these laws ONLY against fellow democrats.
With Republicans, they don’t even have to break any laws, they just try to get them to resign on their own, or go on fishing expeditions and get them on a technicality or the fact the charges were brought in the first place whether they are true or not, is bad enough the Republican needs to go one way or the other.
Because, my FRiend, they are all in it together.
Don't doubt it for a second.

There is some resemblance, but this one has a more intelligent looking face.
All those tendons and veins in her neck and the little slit of a mouth freak me out. She looks like she’s from another planet. Not Carville’s, though.
