Supreme Court set to hear momentous whistleblower case

摘要

The Supreme Court next week will take up a whistleblower case involving a former air marshal turned solar power consultant in a case that could have broad ramifications for federal employees. Tuesday's arguments in Department of Homeland Security v. MacLean stem from Robert MacLean leaking the Transportation Security Administration's decision to cease deploying air marshals on long-distance flights because of budget shortfalls in 2003.
