Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Imagine having to resign from your job just for doing you job
They were doing rather more than their job, though.
Is it right? Probably not.
Did they do anything wrong? Almost certainly not.
All of that said, by the time a relationship escalates to the point of your boss knowing intimate details…. The least objectionable thing that will happen is one of you has to go.
It is difficult to imagine a place so out of touch that they would not have a policy explicitly forbidding such a relationship between a boss and anyone they hired.
He was working to clear out her backlog from the prior asshole; while they were dating. I’m not sure what happens when judges and courts are involved; but at the end of the day he was her subordinate; and there is never a way for a boss to date a subordinate without at least the potential for coercion.
Everyone knows that once you date someone, end the relationship, and go your separate ways, it's impossible to ever have a professional relationship ever again in the future.
Appearance of impropriety is very much a thing and they're not a Supreme Court Judge actively taking bribes.
I believe he had to resign for doing his boss.
There was a romantic relationship between him and the attorney.
Years ago not currently
Oh my god, this whole time it's been conveniently framed as if they're still hooking up. It's even more absurd than I thought.
