...Justices also unanimously decided that federal civilian employees must rely on the "elaborate remedial system" of the civil service for redress of alleged arbitrary and illegal actions. They ruled against NASA Engineer William Bush, who claimed that he had been demoted in retaliation for his public complaints about the agency's management. Although the Civil Service Commission's appeals review board awarded Bush back pay and reinstatement, he sued his boss for damages for denying his right to free speech.

He flirted with the idea of weakening the Voting Rights Act until a political fire storm changed his mind, and until recently was criticized for lax enforcement of fair housing laws.

Those who scream loudest about the environment usually care about their own collectivity, and wire barriers and trash gardens and lawns of Oxford and Cambridge...
