The stupid high court stripped some rights that whistleblowers should have. Whistleblowers are important because they let congress (another corrupt government body) know about illegal activity such as the NSA and AT&T crap.

EDIT: Seems that SFGate can't do proper reporting. It isn't as bad as I thought it was: http://www.oyez.org/oyez/resource/case/1833/

Yeah, I read the court brief. It basically says if you do whistleblow on the job, you cannot be protected from losing the job. I guess that's fair. I wouldn't want to work with an entity I'm telling on anyway.
