UPDATE: Steven Taylor favors us with an extensive examination of the Churchill debate with links to pertinent blogs and articles. I understand his points about the protections Churchill has built up over time: tenure, government employee, etc. As an originalist, I don’t buy the government employee protection because I don’t buy the conduit of the 14th Amendment argument. Further, firing him is not the same as incarcerating him. The state of Colorado is under no Constitutional or moral obligation to continue the employment of any person it deems detrimental to the state’s welfare. Under present interpretations of the 14th Amendment, Colorado may not be able to jail him–thank God for that–but they have no obligation to retain him.
