The U.S. Court of Appeals based in Richmond, Virginia, made the judgment in the case of a Virginia sheriff’s department worker who claimed he was fired for exercising his free speech rights — in this case ‘liking’ a political opponent of his boss. ‘His conduct qualifies as speech,’ the court said in a 81-page decision that sent the case back to a lower court for review of those issues.”
