Maybe that law is a rotten law.

Should have added - there are miles and miles of stacks of rotten laws.

The Hatch Act is from 1939. Times were a bit different then, and the world was facing something quite different from today. And maybe even then it wasn’t so great, who knows. But just because a law has been on the books since 1939 doesn’t mean it is a good or constitutional law.

“the Hatch Act has been in place forever”

The Hatch Act is from 1939 and put into place by the communist President FDR, but it does not and has never applied to military personnel.
