[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the process that a federal worker is SUPPOSED to follow when they have a question about engaging in an activity that *may* implicate the Hatch Act and want an advisory opinion? [/quote]

I think Symone did the right thing by going to her ethics office and she should have been able to rely on their advice, assuming of course that she provided all of the relevant facts. If she left out the part about running for the Dems endorsement and participating in the Dems caucus, that's a pretty big omission and definitely changes the legal analysis. If I thought it was at all a close call, I would have gone to OSC for an advisory opinion. But then again, there apparently is already an OSC opinion directly on point that says an independent candidate cannot seek the Dems endorsement. Don't know if that was innocently overlooked or willfully ignored.[/quote]

A lawyer who innocently overlooks a major detail like that is not a good one.[/quote]
