View submission: Facebook employees outraged over top exec’s public show of support for Brett Kavanaugh

You must not understand the first amendment friend.

For what it's worth, you're not understanding the first amendment either. I don't believe OP should narc this person out, their private beliefs are their private beliefs, but the first amendment only protects you from the government impeding your freedom of speech. There is absolutely positively nothing to stop an employer from firing you if they find out you posted anything like this privately on facebook

I'm not promoting snitching, but this isn't a first amendment violation in any way, nor would it be one if the company fired the guy for it.

In fact, a whole big part of the reasoning for the first amendment is so that you can have your own views, beliefs, whatever, but that society as a whole can ostracize you for it. This would be ostracizing and there is nothing the government can do to stop that.

No, I know it protects you from the government. That’s why I said it’s unamerican rather than unconstitutional. Otherwise absolutely agree with you.
