  > and wanted to prevent civil servants saying negative things about the NRA You should read some of the ruling, because that's absolutely not what happened. The civil servant can say anything she wants under her power as a private citizen. What she can't do is use the power of her office to impose her will on the industries she regulates, and that is what the Supreme Court said she did.

    That's not what the Supreme Court said she did. This is a preliminary-stage ruling. The Supreme Court said that the case can't be dismissed because if all the facts are as the NRA alleges, which they are required to assume at this stage, that would be what she did. The case isn't over. It now goes back to the lower courts to determine if that is, in fact, what she did.
