Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of employees subject to the Hatch Act is about 5.1 million, which would include 2.8 million federal employees and 2.3 million state/local employees. Since enactment of the Hatch Act in 1939, legislation to reduce the restrictions on political activity has been introduced in every Congress. Generally, this legislation would have reduced the restriction on partisan political activity by individuals on their own time, while increasing prohibitions on the misuse of official authority. Both the 94th and 95th Congresses conducted extensive hearings in consideration of legislation to remove the Hatch Act restrictions. Testimony presented to Congress reveals two distinct and opposing opinions over revision of the Hatch Act. Support for Hatch Act reform comes primarily from government labor unions and such organizations as the American Civil Liberties Union. Opposition to Hatch Act reform comes primarily from newspaper editorials and groups like Common Cause. Since Congress passed the Civil Service Reform Act, an independent Special Counsel to the Merit Systems Protection Board has authority for enforcing the Hatch Act. The Office of General Counsel in the old Civil Service Commission had the authority to investigate and prosecute Hatch Act violations and adverse personnel actions. This group of about 19 people has been assigned to the Special Counsel. Only a few complaints were received from 1974 to 1978, and this is thought to be due to the following factors: (1) the political restrictions on federal employees are well known and peer pressure tends to reduce the number of violations; (2) natural reluctance to report a fellow employee or a superior because of fear of reprisal; and (3) many cases probably go unreported each year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Standards of Conduct Office of the Department of Defense General Counsel's Office has assembled an "encyclopedia" of cases of ethical failure for use as a training tool. These are real examples of Federal employees who have intentionally or unwittingly violated standards of conduct. Some cases are humorous, some sad, and all are real. Some will anger you as a Federal employee and some will anger you as an American taxpayer. Note the multiple jail and probation sentences, fines, employment terminations and other sanctions that were taken as a result of these ethical failures. Violations of many ethical standards involve criminal statutes. This updated (end of 2009) edition is organized by type of violations, including conflicts of interest, misuse of Government equipment, violations of post-employment restrictions, and travel.

Download or read book Perilous Times written by Geoffrey R. Stone and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2004 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Stone's Perilous Times incisively investigates how the First Amendment and other civil liberties have been compromised in America during wartime. Stone delineates the consistent suppression of free speech in six historical periods from the Sedition Act of 1798 to the Vietnam War, and ends with a coda that examines the state of civil liberties in the Bush era. Full of fresh legal and historical insight, Perilous Times magisterially presents a dramatic cast of characters who influenced the course of history over a two-hundred-year period: from the presidents—Adams, Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, and Nixon—to the Supreme Court justices—Taney, Holmes, Brandeis, Black, and Warren—to the resisters—Clement Vallandingham, Emma Goldman, Fred Korematsu, and David Dellinger. Filled with dozens of rare photographs, posters, and historical illustrations, Perilous Times is resonant in its call for a new approach in our response to grave crises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two New York Times Washington correspondents provide a detailed, “fact-based account of what precipitated some of this administration’s more brazen assaults on immigration” (The Washington Post) filled with never-before-told stories of this key issue of Donald Trump’s presidency. No issue matters more to Donald Trump and his administration than restricting immigration. Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear have covered the Trump administration from its earliest days. In Border Wars, they take us inside the White House to document how Stephen Miller and other anti-immigration officials blocked asylum-seekers and refugees, separated families, threatened deportation, and sought to erode the longstanding bipartisan consensus that immigration and immigrants make positive contributions to America. Their revelation of Trump’s desire for a border moat filled with alligators made national news. As the authors reveal, Trump has used immigration to stoke fears (“the caravan”), attack Democrats and the courts, and distract from negative news and political difficulties. As he seeks reelection in 2020, Trump has elevated immigration in the imaginations of many Americans into a national crisis. Border Wars identifies the players behind Trump’s anti-immigration policies, showing how they planned, stumbled and fought their way toward changes that have further polarized the nation. “[Davis and Shear’s] exquisitely reported Border Wars reveals the shattering horror of the moment, [and] the mercurial unreliability and instability of the president” (The New York Times Book Review).
