High court upholds Hatch Act ruling preserved
The Supreme Court upheld the 1939 Hatch Act on Monday in a 6-3 decision, ruling it does not discriminate by viewpoint and applies equally to all partisan activity. The decision reversed a July district court ruling, with Justices Douglas, Marshall, and Brennan dissenting. The ruling supports Congress’s aim to shield federal employees from partisan pressures and protect the civil service from spoils systems. The opinion, authored by Justice White, cites long-standing precedents.
