In episode three of the Make No Law podcast, I look at the complicated question of when the government can fire its own employees for their speech.

I interview Richard Ceballos, a Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles who experienced retaliation for questioning a search warrant, and whose case resulted in a very counter-intuitive rule.
