Once again; there is a clear distinction between political appointees, who may indeed be fired at will, and regular government employees, for whom due process protections are more extensive. Steven Hatfill, the subject of this thread, was not a political appointee.

And where is that distinction made? Statue? Regulation? Or the Constitution? Are you saying a simple statue or regulation changing the lable given to one's employment can trump the whole contitution? What would your friends say at the ACLU?

I cited the regulation, with a link. You either didn't understand it, or ignored it. So far, in this thread, you've cited nothing, except your own odd theories of the law. Sorry, bud, I've got better things to do than argue with nutters.

And it's 'statute'. Statues are big stone things.
