Just following orders, are they?
They are part of an organization trampling our rights into the ground. They have a choice not to take the job. I'm imminently qualified for the job, my family would be much better off if I'd taken it. But, my loyalty to the Constitution is not for sale. Theirs, apparently, is.
They are not worth respect. Tar and feathers, but not respect.
Just pointing out that the excuses made for one branch of public employees ought to apply to another.
