Whistle-blowers aren't protected if the problem is common knowledge within the office, or in cases involved coverups of inspections. How on earth were those precedents set? Is there some strange language in the whistle-blower protection that allows for these non-sensical interpretations or have judges simply ignored the law, making up stuff as they go along and Congress has allowed them to get away with it? Seriously, Congress has the right to impeach judges who ignore the law in their interpretations. In no other court, our Judges allowed to just make stuff up.
I think the best solution would be to allow Federal employees the same rights as Civilian employees. They should be allowed to use the full Federal Court system to sue the Federal government for damages due to wrongfull termination or retalitory behavior because the employee reported illigal activity of their employerer.
