Does this mean that no government employee is allowed to speak at tea parties?

Well how convenient for the Obama administration who is busy growing government while shrinking the public sector!

If that’s a sample of Jarvis’ legal thinking, he’s not much of an attorney.

He ought to read his own job description more carefully. State attorneys represent ‘the people of the state’, not ‘the state’. There is no conflict in advocating for the people of the state inside a court room and at a Tea Party.

Further, to state the blindingly obvious, Tea Parties are attended and addressed by lots of politicians, including those who hope to use Tea Party support to gain elective office. They are no more advocating against ‘the state’ than attendees at a civil rights rally.

How do nitwits like Jarvis ever pass a bar exam?
