The opinion
NOONAN, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
As the Supreme Court acknowledged in its 5-4 decision in Garcetti v. Ceballos, 547 U.S. 410 , 126 S.Ct. 1951 , 164 L.Ed.2d 689 (2006), it has been difficult to differentiate between citizen speech and employee speech “that has some potential to affect the entity’s operation.” Difficult, delicate as the differentiation is, it seems to me that Freitag wrote Terhune as a professional prison employee.
