Facebook "Like" Status and Your Job

     This week, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals held that "liking" a status on Facebook is Constitutionally protected free speech.  This decision came after a sheriff fired six employees who supported another candidate for sheriff by "liking" his Facebook post.  The Court found that "liking" the candidate was the equivalent of showing political support by putting a sign on their lawn, and therefore is Constitutionally protected.
