Description

CARDAMONE, Circuit Judge: On this appeal we are called upon to construe the Hatch Act and its implementing regulations. Passage of that Act signalled Congress' determination that for the government to function fairly and efficiently, it must limit the political activities of federal employees, employees of the District of Columbia, and certain employees of state and local governments. This petition for review is from a final decision and order of the Merit Systems Protection Board (Board), which found that petitioners Morris Biller and Vincent R. Sombrotto violated the Hatch Political Activities Act, 5 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 7321-7327 (1982 & Supp. IV 1986) (Hatch Act). The Board ordered that petitioners each be suspended from Postal Service employment for 60 days. As residents of this Circuit, petitioners seek to have the Board's order set aside pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Â§ 1207(c).
